    Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas recipe with text overlay

    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.

    two bowls of Roasted Chickpeas. One cooked, one burnt.

    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!

    Ingredients for Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

    Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)

    Olive oil

    Maple syrup

    Brown sugar

    Ground cinnamon

    How to Make Roasted Chickpeas

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

    2. Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

    3. Spread the chickpeas on baking sheet line with parchment paper.

    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.

    6. Put the chickpeas into the the maple syrup mixture and toss until they are coated.

    7. Put them back onto the lined baking sheet and caramelize for about 10-15 mins.

    8. Remove and ENJOY!

      Made these over the weekend and thought that they were bland and in need of a decent hit of salt, maybe 1/2 or a full teaspoon.

      these sound delicious! Just one question. I’d be interested in using dried chick peas. You said you soaked them – did you cook them after that or just roasted them raw?

        Yes, I do cook the chickpeas after soaking them and then roast them. Mainly because I get so much more for the money. They are so yummy! 🙂

          I want to use dry also. How long do you soak, and then, how long do you cook before roasting? Why do you need to cook them before roasting? Thanks for your help.

          They are so easy to soak and cook from dry! See this post for details – https://www.tosimplyinspire.com/soak-cook-chickpeas.html

          You would need to cook them first since the dry chickpeas are really hard and roasting them “dry” not give the same results. 🙂

      I tried these today with one of my daughters. We both loved them. 🙂 32+ g of added sugar doesn’t make this a healthy one to me, but it is delicious! I’ll be making them again. Thank you for the recipe!

      In step 7 you said to caramelize for 10-15 minutes. Does it go back into the oven or do they sit outside the oven on the baking sheet?

        Back in the oven 🙂 Just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn

      Good Afternoon Sherri, I have heard of roasted chickpeas and I have enjoyed them flavoured with cumin, but I love the idea of sweet roasted chickpeas… I have a very sweet tooth, so I will be making your roasted chickpeas this weekend…. a lovely snack to enjoy while watching a Saturday night film.
