A sweet and crunchy snack made by roasting chickpeas coated in a maple syrup and cinnamon glaze. Perfect for a wholesome, addictive treat that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (260g) canned chickpeas, drained and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (2.6g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5g) ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut oil or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drain and rinse 1 1/2 cups (260g) canned chickpeas. Pat them as dry as you can with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon (2.6g) ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract, a pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon), and 1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut oil. If using, add 1/4 teaspoon (0.5g) nutmeg. Stir to mix well.
  4. Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly until every chickpea is coated with the maple cinnamon glaze.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching too much.
  6. Roast in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, gently stir the chickpeas with a spatula to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
  7. Check for crispiness around 25 minutes. Chickpeas should be golden and feel crunchy when you bite or press on them. If they’re still soft, give them another 5 minutes but watch carefully so they don’t burn.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll crisp up further as they cool down.
  9. Store in an airtight container once cooled. These keep well for up to a week.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Stir every 10 minutes during roasting to prevent burning and clumping. Let chickpeas cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up further. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes if needed. Avoid microwaving to maintain crispiness.
