Instructions
- Honey Roasted Chickpeas
Spread a single layer of chickpeas on toweling and allow to dry for 30 minutes.
Mix honey, olive oil, cinnamon and cloves together in a medium bowl; set aside.
Spread a single layer of chickpeas on a parchment-lined sheet pan and roast as directed until chickpeas appear dry; remove from oven and immediately toss in honey mixture.
Spread back on the pan and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until crispy, checking frequently to prevent burning; store loosely covered at room temp to maintain crispness.

Puree chickpeas, olive oil and 2 cups of water in food processor until smooth; pour into electric mixing bowl.

Mix an additional 2 minutes on low speed; fold in raisins and mix another 1 minute.
Divide batter evenly between 7 greased and floured 9-inch round pans; top with Spiced Nut Topping.
