Healthy, delicious, proetin- and fibre-rich little bites. What more can you ask for? Makes a great topping or protein add-in to my 'Spicy Peanut Kale' recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 2 Cups, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (548 ml) can chickpeas, Drained and Rinsed (Patted Dry)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons kettlecorn-flavoured popcorn seasoning
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas over the sink, using a colander.
  • Pat-dry the chickpeas with a paper towel so they're not dripping of any excess water. They should still be moist.
  • Spread the chickpeas out evenly on a cookie sheet, or inside a metal cake pan. Something with short edges will be best so you can let the chickpeas roll around, and not lose any in the process ;-).
  • Sprinkle the kettlecorn popcorn seasoning, or substitute the salt/sugar mixture, on top of the chickpeas. Then, do the same with the cinnamon. Tilt the pan a few times to evenly coat the chickpeas. Repeat if necessary with the remaining seasoning and cinnamon to taste. Use all of it for a more intense sweet/salty-tasting snack.
  • Set oven to Broil, and broil for about 20-25 minutes. Be sure to take out the pan and/or move the chickpeas around so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan, and broil evenly.
  • When finished, the chickpeas should be golden, a little dry on the outside and a little chewy still on the inside. If you want them crunchier, keep them in longer. I like mine a little chewy.
