Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:

2 - 15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2 Tbsp. olive oil

4 Tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread drained and rinsed chickpeas onto prepared baking sheet and pat dry. The drier the chickpeas, the crunchier they will be. You may remove the skins or leave them on. Once 100% dry, roast chickpeas for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes,drizzle with olive oil. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle over beans. Mix around very well to heavily coat each bean. Place back into the oven and roast for another 15 minutes. Leaving the chickpeas inside, turn the oven off and crack open the door slightly. Allow the chickpeas to sit inside as the oven cools down for 30 minutes. This will help them get crunchier.
