Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed Alternatively, about 3 cups of cooked chickpeas
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil Adjust based on preference
  • 1.5 tablespoons honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons sriracha Start with less, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika Optional but recommended
  • to taste pinch salt Adjust according to preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Dry the chickpeas thoroughly after rinsing. Pat them with a clean towel and let them sit for a few minutes.
  3. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for about 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.
Coating
  1. While the chickpeas are roasting, mix together the honey, sriracha, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl.
  2. Remove the chickpeas from the oven, toss them in the honey sriracha mixture, and return them to the oven for another 8 to 12 minutes.
  3. Keep an eye on the chickpeas during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Cooling
  1. Once done, cool the chickpeas for at least 10 minutes to allow them to crisp up further.

Notes

For a crowd with mixed spice tolerance, serve extra sauce on the side. If your chickpeas aren't crispy enough, roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes before adding the glaze.
