Sweet Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas Recipe

Looking for a sweet and healthy snack! Look no further than these Sweet Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas!

One cup of chickpeas has 39 grams of protein, making these tasty roasted legumes a nice mid-morning or afternoon power boost.  You can easily adjust their sweetness to your liking by varying the amount of sugar used to coat the chickpeas after roasting them making for a healthier snack!

I enjoy these roasted chickpeas so much, the first time I made them the amount that made it to the jar to save for later was way less than what came out of the oven!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F. Line a jelly-roll pan (or other pan with sides) with parchment paper.
  2. Drain chickpeas and rinse well. Spread them out on a towel to dry.
  3. While chickpeas are drying, combine olive oil, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  4. When chickpeas are no longer wet (damp is okay), spread them on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Bake chickpeas approximately 45 minutes or until crispy, but not too dark (or they may taste burned). If chickpeas are still soft on the inside, bake a little longer, checking often.
  6. Remove baked chickpeas from oven and immediately toss them in the oil, honey and spices mixture to coat well.
  7. Sprinkle coated chickpeas with sugar and toss again to coat well.
  8. To caramelize coating,spread coated chickpeas back on parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
  9. Caramelized chickpeas will be very hot when removed from the oven. Allow to cool before eating. Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container.
