Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas Snack (Printable)

Crunchy roasted chickpeas with cinnamon and natural sweetness for a satisfying healthy treat.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

02 - 1½ tbsp olive oil

03 - 2 tbsp maple syrup

04 - 1½ tsp ground cinnamon

05 - ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

06 - ¼ tsp fine sea salt

07 - 1½ tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Pat the chickpeas very dry with a kitchen towel, removing as much moisture as possible to ensure maximum crispiness.

03 - In a mixing bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly coated.

04 - Spread chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

05 - Roast for 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through for even browning.

06 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with coconut sugar or brown sugar, and toss to coat evenly.

07 - Return chickpeas to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp, watching closely to prevent burning.

08 - Let cool completely on the tray. The chickpeas will crisp up further as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
