Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust for heat preference)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt to taste

Optional: Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This will help them become extra crispy when roasted.

      Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup (or honey), garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

        Coat the Chickpeas: Add the rinsed chickpeas to the marinade bowl and toss well until all the chickpeas are evenly coated with the mixture.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Spread the marinated chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Stir the chickpeas halfway through to ensure even crisping. Keep an eye on them in the last 5-10 minutes to avoid burning.

              Check for Crispiness: Chickpeas should be golden brown and crunchy when done. If they’re not as crispy as you like, you can roast them for an additional 5-10 minutes.

                Cool and Serve: Once roasted to perfection, remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. They will continue to harden as they cool.

                  Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro or sliced green onions on top for added flavor and presentation.

                    Enjoy: Serve as a spicy snack, toss them into salads, or use them as a crunchy topping on soups!
