Honey CINNAMON Roasted Chickpeas!

I am ALWAYS looking for a "healthier" crunchy snack.  It's just something about that crunch.  I have tried to roast chickpeas before-but they never came out right! I finally broke down and bought some from the store, they were incredible!!! After I finished the bag- I decided I was DETERMINED.  I set out to Pinterest to find tips or tricks, SOMETHING needed to be different.  I found this AWESOME recipe and found out that the missing step was RINSING, removing loose skin AND letting dry on a paper towel for AT LEAST 30 minutes.  They came out great and I'm currently making a double back to have as a healthy snack on vacation! 

Here's the recipe I am using!!
 

Honey Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 TBL granulated sugar
  • 2 TBL honey

Instructions
  1. Drain and rinse your chickpeas. Remove any loose skins off of the beans but don't worry about taking them all off. Just remove the ones that are super loose.
  2. On a paper towel or towel, evenly spread your beans and let dry. I dried mine for about ½ hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  4. Line a cookie sheet with either foil or parchment paper.
  5. Evenly spread your dried beans on cookie sheet
  6. Bake for 40-60 minutes. It will all depend on your oven. Check after 40 minutes and if they are crunchy, they are done. If they are too moist then cook a little longer but watch so they don't burn.
  7. After baking, quickly transfer to a bowl and mix with the 2 TBL olive oil or coconut oil.
  8. Then spread the seasonings of whatever flavor you are using and mix well.
  9. With the honey cinnamon flavor, after coating, you can put the beans back into the oven for 5 minutes or so to caramelize them.

ENJOY!!! <3
