Have you ever tried to roast chickpeas? I've had a few failed attempts in the past, but I think I've finally mastered the art. I'll share with you what I've learned: use medium heat, not high, use a quality oil, ensure adequate spacing on the pan, and let them cool directly on the pan. The result is a crunchy, yummy snack that you can flavour any way you like! This time, I chose to go with the nostalgic and beloved cinnamon-sugar. Vista Magazine Canada was kind enough to give me the opportunity to partner with them in collaboration with Silkeny for this recipe! I used Silkeny's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, which was perfect for the sweet theme of this recipe. This will be your new favourite snack!
