Servings: 4 -5 servings
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas skins removed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil or neutral oil of choice
- 2 tsp coconut sugar
- 2 tsp + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F while you remove the chickpea skins. Do so easily by rubbing gently between two kitchen towels, using friction to loosen skins.
- In a large bowl, toss skinned chickpeas with maple syrup, coconut oil, and 2 tsp cinnamon. Toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer to a baking mat or parchment paper lined baking tray, and bake for about 40-45 minutes, making sure to shake the tray and toss chickpeas every 10-15 minutes or so. This will avoid burning.
- Once chickpeas are crisp, sprinkle coconut sugar to top along with 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and toss to coat. Allow to completely cool before enjoying or storing.
