Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Liquid and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and arrange a parchment-lined baking sheet to create a non-stick surface for roasting the chickpeas.
- Thoroughly drain and rinse the chickpeas, then meticulously dry them using a clean kitchen towel, removing excess moisture and any loose papery skins to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Whisk together olive oil, honey, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until the ingredients form a smooth, glossy marinade that will coat the chickpeas with a vibrant, aromatic glaze.
- Distribute the chickpeas evenly across the prepared baking sheet, then generously drizzle the honey-ginger mixture over them, carefully massaging the coating to ensure each chickpea is thoroughly and uniformly seasoned.
- Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan midway through cooking to promote even browning and create a uniformly crisp exterior with a golden-brown finish.
- Extract the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool completely, which will help them develop a satisfying crunch and enable the glaze to set, enhancing their overall texture and flavor profile.
Notes
- Gather all ingredients before starting to streamline the cooking process.
- Pat chickpeas completely dry to guarantee maximum crispiness during roasting.
- Ensure honey and oil mixture thoroughly coats each chickpea for consistent flavor.
