Ginger Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

I made a post for a salty/spicy roasted chickpeas before, but this time I made more of a sweet roasted chickpea.  I love them both ways, these are a healthier alternative for a snack no matter which way you make them. Give them a try.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit

Ingredients

- 1 can of Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) drained and rinsed well
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp of ginger
- 1 tsp of sugar (or more depending on how sweet you would like them)
- 2 tsp of olive oil
- sprinkle of salt


1) Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to a medium bowl. Add the cinnamon, ginger, sugar and sprinkle of salt, mix up slightly. Then add the olive oil and mix well, until every thing is evenly coated. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in your preheated oven.  


2) Baked for 30 to 40 minutes, mix once baking. Remove when the chickpeas have colored and are crunchy.


Super simple process for a health snack alternative.  One thing I do want to point out is that you need to keep an eye on the chickpeas during the end of baking, as they can burn easily towards the end.

Enjoy!!
