    Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas are a wonderful, crunchy, healthy snack. Nut free, gluten free and vegan. They also make fabulous salad topping!

    These roasted chickpeas that are sweetened with just the right amount of maple syrup and cinnamon are so perfect to satisfy your snacking cravings.  They have the perfect crunch that reminds me of a sugar cereal to be honest.

    I actually soaked and cooked dried chickpeas this time instead of buying canned chickpeas. I love having frozen chickpeas in the freezer to grab, thaw and roast. The whole bag of dried chickpeas cost $1.79 and yield 4 times as much as one can.

    You can also change the ingredients to create several different flavors.  These Honey Mustard Chickpeas are another great way to make them. Or try sprinkling them with with a little olive oil and garlic powder.  They are great with olive oil, soy sauce and lime juice.

    I made one batch and completely failed. I poured the mixture over them and THEN baked them and it did not go well at all. The syrup and/or brown sugar burned.

    Then I decided to try it a different way. And the best little sweet healthy snack was born! I roasted the chickpeas plain first. Then coated them with the mixture and put them back in the oven to caramelize them.

    They taste like a sweetened cereal. Kid-friendly for the win!

    4. Bake for 45- 50 minutes. Give the pan a little shake every 15 minutes to move them around. You want to bake them until they are crunchy all the way through. Test one.  If it’s still soft in the middle, cook a little longer. Retest until completely crunchy.

    5. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup , brown sugar, cinnamon.
