I enjoy these roasted chickpeas so much, the first time I made them the amount that made it to the jar to save for later was way less than what came out of the oven!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F. Line a jelly-roll pan (or other pan with sides) with parchment paper.
- Drain chickpeas and rinse well. Spread them out on a towel to dry.
- While chickpeas are drying, combine olive oil, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- When chickpeas are no longer wet (damp is okay), spread them on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake chickpeas approximately 45 minutes or until crispy, but not too dark (or they may taste burned). If chickpeas are still soft on the inside, bake a little longer, checking often.
- Remove baked chickpeas from oven and immediately toss them in the oil, honey and spices mixture to coat well.
- Sprinkle coated chickpeas with sugar and toss again to coat well.
- To caramelize coating,spread coated chickpeas back on parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
- Caramelized chickpeas will be very hot when removed from the oven. Allow to cool before eating. Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container.
