Crispy and flavorful Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas make a perfect healthy snack. Coated with a touch of honey, warm cinnamon, and a hint of coconut oil, these chickpeas are oven-roasted until crunchy and golden. A delightful sweet and slightly spiced treat that’s easy to prepare and satisfying for any time of day.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz.) chickpeas, low sodium if possible (garbanzo beans)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly. Place them on a lint-free towel and dry them well by rubbing gently to remove their skins. Removing the skins helps achieve a crunchier texture when roasted.
  2. Mix: In a medium mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with the melted coconut oil, honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt if using. Ensure that all chickpeas are evenly coated with the mixture to maximize flavor.
  3. Bake: Spread the coated chickpeas out in a single layer on a small rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir or shake the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent burning, until the chickpeas become crispy and golden brown.
  4. Cool: Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Cooling will help them crisp up further and be ready to enjoy as a crunchy snack.

Notes

  • Make sure to dry chickpeas thoroughly to get maximum crispiness.
  • You can adjust the amount of honey for sweeter or less sweet roasted chickpeas.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
