Ingredients
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas drained, rinsed and thoroughly dried
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Spread chickpeas out on a dry dish towel and peel skins off. This will take about 10 minutes, it's tedious but worth it for crispy roasted chickpeas that won't get soggy!
  3. Spread peeled chickpeas out on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, shaking the pan once so they don't stick.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla in a small bowl.
  5. Remove chickpeas from oven pour the coconut oil mixture over top, season with the cinnamon and sea salt and toss to combine making sure all the chickpeas are evenly coated.
  6. Return baking sheet to the oven and roast an additional 12 minutes, tossing once half way through baking.
  7. Turn the oven off, open the door a few inches and let oven cool with the baking sheet still in the oven.
  8. Once cooled, chickpeas will be crispy and ready for snacking! Store in a paper bag to retain crispiness but there likely won't be any leftover to do so!

  • ¾ tsp. kosher salt
  • 1.5 tbsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling

  2. Cut 1 lemon in half, remove any visible seeds, and squeeze juice into a small bowl. You should have 3–4 Tbsp.
  3. Smash 1 garlic clove with the flat side of your knife on a cutting board and remove peel. Continue to mash with side of knife until a paste forms. (You can also grate garlic on a microplane if you have one—you're just looking for a fine paste.)

  5. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
