Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat chickpeas dry with a clean towel, removing any loose skins.
- In a bowl, toss chickpeas, almonds, and cashews with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne until evenly coated.
- Spread mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chickpeas are crunchy and nuts are lightly toasted.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet; they will crisp up further as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- For extra crunch, remove chickpea skins before baking.
- Swap almonds and cashews with your favorite nuts or seeds.
- Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for a sweet-savory version.
