Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Fresh lime juice (for drizzling, optional)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, use a clean kitchen towel to pat them dry thoroughly. This will help achieve maximum crunchiness.

      Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey until well combined.

        Coat the Chickpeas: Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spicy mixture.

          Roast: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

            Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

              Cool: Let the roasted chickpeas cool for a few minutes; they will become even crunchier as they cool.

                Serve: If desired, drizzle with fresh lime juice and garnish with chopped cilantro. Enjoy your Crunchy Sriracha Roasted Chickpeas as a snack, salad topper, or party appetizer!
