Honey Chipotle Roasted Chickpeas

These crunchy Honey Chipotle Roasted Chickpeas pack a sweet and spicy punch. 

Anyone else in the mood for spring cleaning? I’ve been focusing on a little bit at a time. Like most creative folk I know, I’m notoriously a little bit messy, but it sure feels good to purge. A few weekends ago, I emptied boxes from my last move. And then I started on my closet. And I rearranged the plastic containers in the kitchen. (I swear they multiply.) And now I’ve moved onto the pantry. Time to use up the cans I bought in preparation for one of the snows.

I usually have a few cans of beans in the pantry. A simple bowl of beans and rice is my go-to meal when I need a quick homemade dinner, but I enjoy tossing beans into other dishes too. But notably, my cans of garbanzo beans (AKA chickpeas) have been neglected. As I reorganized, I found two cans at the back of a shelf and realized I needed to use them up!

One of my early recipe posts on Feast + West was for Garlic Roasted Chickpeas, and they’re still one of my favorite easy snacks to nibble on. (But only when I remember there are cans of them in the back of the pantry.) Chickpeas are high in protein and you can flavor them with just about any herb or spice. (I once topped a soup with Bacon Roasted Chickpeas and can safely promise that bacon is an acceptable topping as well. But you didn’t need me to tell you that. Bacon is always an acceptable topping, right?)

So, about these Honey Chipotle Roasted Chickpeas. They’re sweet. They’re spicy. They’re crunchy. To make them, You’ll toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper and then roast them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or — my favorite — a Silpat. And then you’ll toss them with honey and spices and roast them a bit more. And then you’ll let them cool them down and eat them until they’re all gone. Or share them. But if you cleaned the whole pantry, you’re entitled to eat them all! // susannah
