Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing once halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

        Combine Other Ingredients: While the chickpeas are roasting, in a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, chocolate chips (if using), and shredded coconut (if using).

          Mix It All Together: Once the chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, add the roasted chickpeas to the bowl with the nuts and dried fruit. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.

            Storage: Allow the trail mix to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. This snack can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.

              Serve and Enjoy: This Crunchy Roasted Chickpea Trail Mix is perfect for snacking on-the-go, adding to salads, or serving at gatherings! Enjoy the combination of crunchiness and delightful flavors.
