Sweet Crispy Chickpeas

I was having a hard time coming up with healthy vegan no oil snacks when I first started this eating lifestyle. Luckily I found several crispy chickpea recipes. Sweet and crispy chickpeas are one of my favorite snack foods. They are very easy to make and you can flavor them just about any way you want. For this recipe, I used cinnamon and maple syrup.

Get the Ingredients for these sweet crispy chickpeas:

• 1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp cinnamon

Let’s start Cooking:

Start by thoroughly rinsing a can of chickpeas in a strainer.

Spread the chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Shake the pan of chickpeas and cook an additional 5 minutes

In a bowl add 1 Tbsp. of maple syrup and 1 Tbsp. of cinnamon and mix together. Next, put the cooked chickpeas in the bowl and stir until all peas are covered in the mixture.

Now, put the chickpeas back in the air fryer in a single layer and cook for another 7 minutes. Check to make sure the peas are crispy before removing them from the air fryer. If the chickpeas are crispy, then you are finished. If not, cook 2 minutes more and recheck.

As a final step, put 1 Tbsp. of maple syrup and 1 Tbsp. of cinnamon in your bowl and mix together. Finally, add the cooked chickpeas to the bowl and mix until all peas are covered. You are now ready to eat this delicious sweet crispy chickpeas snack.

If you don’t have an air fryer you can cook these in an oven at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Take them out after 15 minutes to add half of the cinnamon and maple syrup mixture then cook the additional 5 to 10 minutes. Once they are cooked, remove them from the oven, add them to your bowl with the additional maple syrup and cinnamon for a tasty, sweet, crispy treat.
