Ingredients
2 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted chickpeas, raw almonds, raw cashews, dried cranberries, and chopped dried apricots.
Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Divide the snack mix into six airtight containers or snack bags for easy grab-and-go portions.
Store the prepared snack mix at room temperature in an airtight container.
