Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, and pecans)

1 cup popped popcorn (air-popped)

1/2 cup dried cranberries (or raisins for a sweeter mix)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare Chickpeas: Spread the rinsed chickpeas on the baking sheet and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This helps them get crispy!

      Season Chickpeas: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the chickpeas and toss until they are evenly coated.

        Roast Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the hot oven for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

          Mix the Snack Ingredients: While the chickpeas are roasting, in a large bowl combine the mixed nuts, popped popcorn, and dried cranberries.

            Combine: Once the chickpeas are done, let them cool for a few minutes, then add them to the bowl with the nut and popcorn mixture. Toss everything together gently to combine.

              Cool & Serve: Allow the snack mix to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container to store. Enjoy it as a healthy snack anytime!
