Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas or 1 ½ cup cooked chickpeas
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 
  • Drain and rinse chickpeas if using canned and place on a towel to dry. Gently rub chickpeas with towel until throughly dry. Remove and discard any loose skins. 
  • Spread chickpeas in an even layer on parchment lined baking sheet. 
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until chickpeas have browned lightly and have crisped. Stir chickpeas every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting. 
  • In a bowl combine cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.  Maple syrup should be room temperature to prevent mixture from becoming too thick. 
  • Transfer roasted chickpeas into bowl with chocolate mixture. Stir and toss to coat all chickpeas. 
  • Return coated chickpeas to baking sheet. Spread in an even layer. Bake for 5-7 minutes longer until chocolate coating is dry and no longer sticky. 
  • Allow to cool completely and enjoy! Best enjoyed the same day, but maybe be stored in air tight container for 1-2 days.
