Jen's roasted crispy chickpeas

1 540 ML/19 FL OZ CAN OF CHICKPEAS
1 TBSP SMOKEHOUSE SPICE
1 ½ TSP MAPLE SYRUP
2 TBSP OLIVE OIL
1 TSP SALT (OR TO TASTE)

Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Drain the chickpeas well, and pat dry. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and toss until well coated. On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread out the chickpeas in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, remove and stir the chickpeas, and then return to the oven for another 15 minutes. At this stage, the chickpeas will have a crispy outer layer, but are still soft on the inside (how I like them!).You can continue to bake for another 15-25 minutes, until they are crispy and crunchy all the way through. 

There are so many uses for these — enjoy as is as a snack, tossed on salads for extra crunch, eat with brown rice with a side salad for a complete lunch or dinner, add as a topping in a squash or carrot soup, or in a taco with creamy guacamole, suhtain!
