Ingredients
  • 1 Teavana Oprah chai teabag
  • ⅛ teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 15oz can chickpeas, rinsed and thoroughly dried
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
  1. In a spice grinder combine the contents of the teabag with the black peppercorns. Grind until a very fine powder. You can also kick up the spice by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  2. Drain and throughly rinse the chickpeas. Pat the chickpeas with a paper towel until very dry, or let them air dry for a few (5-10) minutes
  3. Preheat the oven to 400.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, salt and spice mixture. Stir until combined. Add the chickpeas and toss until they are evenly coated.
  5. Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper, and place the chickpeas in an even layer.
  6. Roast the chickpeas for 20-30 minutes, shaking the tray every 10 minutes. The chickpeas are done when golden and slightly darkened, dry and crispy on the outside, and soft in the middle.
