Description
Deliciously crunchy chocolate-covered chickpeas that are both sweet and savory.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean towel and pat dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
- Transfer the chickpeas to a bowl and toss with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until chickpeas are golden and crunchy.
- While the chickpeas are roasting, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir in the maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Add the roasted chickpeas to the chocolate mixture and stir to coat evenly. Spread the coated chickpeas back onto the baking sheet to set before enjoying.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are thoroughly dried for maximum crunchiness.
