Instructions

STEP 1:

Turn on oven to 200 degrees celcius (not sure what that is in farenheit, sorry).

STEP 2:

STEP 3:

drain and rinse chickpeas.

STEP 4:

STEP 5:

lay some paper towel on the baking tray, spread out chickpeas on the paper towel then using more paper towel, pat dry. You need to get as much water off as possible.

STEP 7:

pour chickpeas into a bowl, add the oil and cinnamon sugar and mix through.

STEP 8:

STEP 9:

place foil or baking paper on oven tray, then lay out the chickpea mixture on top, spreading them out.

STEP 10:

STEP 11:

place in oven for an hour. I do mine for an hour and 5 minutes. Bit of an ocd thing cos that was how long i did them for the first time mine worked. Give them a little shake every now and then to move them around.

STEP 12:

STEP 13:

you will get some burnt ones, maybe several, but don’t fret, they still taste just as good. In fact they are the crunchiest ones.

STEP 14:

STEP 15:

they should come out crunchy, if they aren’t crunchy then the oven wasn’t hot enough, or there was too much moisture on them.

STEP 16:

STEP 17:

it took me a few goes to get them right. Might need to play around with heat, though if the oven is too hot they may start popping in the oven.

STEP 18:

STEP 19:

will last for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
