Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After rinsing the chickpeas, make sure to dry them thoroughly. You can use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The dryer they are, the crunchier they will become.

      Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and ground nutmeg (if using). Whisk them together until well combined.

        Toss the Chickpeas: Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl and toss them in the maple cinnamon mixture until every chickpea is evenly coated.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated chickpeas to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Cool Down: Once roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

                Serve: Sprinkle with a little extra sea salt if desired and serve them warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your crunchy snack!
