Spicy Roasted Chickpea Snack Mix

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) Canned Chickpeas
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)
• 0.5 cup Sunflower Seeds
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness.
3. 3In a large bowl, combine the dried chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
4. 4In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
5. 5Pour the spice mixture over the chickpea and seed mixture. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
6. 6Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
7. 7Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are crispy and lightly browned, and the seeds are toasted.
8. 8Let cool slightly before serving. The mixture will become crispier as it cools.
