Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil not heaped, levelled
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190 degrees C.
  • Drain chickpeas and rinse under cold water. Place chickpeas on a paper towel to dry. Peel the skin off the chickpeas for best results, but if you are short on time skip this step.
  • In a small bowl, melt the coconut oil, cinnamon, mixed spice and sugar in the microwave for 15 1- 30 seconds. The oil must not get hot. Remove from microwave.
  • Place chickpeas in this coconut oil bowl and stir until all of the chickpeas are evenly coated. Spread out the chickpeas on a large baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until chickpeas are crunchy.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and drizzle maple syrup over chickpeas, tossing gently to coat. Allow to dry with the oven door open.
  • Best eaten that day, as a snack, over ice cream or tossed into a salad
