Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed Look for organic brands for a cleaner taste.
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor; darker syrup has a more intense taste.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Freshly ground will give a richer aroma, but pre-ground is fine.
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter Coconut oil adds subtle sweetness; unsalted butter is a good substitute.
- pinch sea salt Enhances all flavors. Flaky sea salt is great for finishing.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the chickpeas in a colander under cold water and pat them dry using a clean towel or paper towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil (or butter), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Add the chickpeas to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the chickpeas in an even layer.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy.
- Let the chickpeas cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
