Ingredients
115 oz can chickpeas or 1 ½ cup cooked chickpeas
3tablespooncocoa powder
2tablespoonmaple syrup
½teaspoonvanilla 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.
