Maple Roasted Cremlings
Crunchy, soft, and sweet all together - perfect snacks or a great topping for soups or salads
Special Equipment
- Large rimmed baking sheet
- Strainer for rinsing the chickpeas
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz can Garbanzo Beans (chickpeas)
- 2 Tbsp oil (peanut, avocado, whatever you like)
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp table salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas
- Carefully roll the chickpeas in a tea towel and remove as many of the skins as you can. (Don't skip this! Beans with the skins on do not get crunchy.)
- In a medium bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the skinned chickpeas into the maple syrup mixture. Toss gently until chickpeas are well coated, being careful to keep the chickpeas whole.
- Place the chickpeas on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, stirring at the 15-minute mark, at 30 minutes, at 38 minutes, and keep a very close eye (and nose!) on them for the last 7 minutes to prevent the sugar from burning.
- The garbanzos will crisp up as they cool down - wait until they are fully cool to eat them.
