1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed Ensure the chickpeas are canned for convenience.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar or honey Use sugar for vegan option.
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) Adjust for spiciness.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, cinnamon, sugar or honey, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Spread the chickpeas evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden and crunchy.
Let cool before serving.

Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. For best results, re-crisp in the oven before serving.
