Picture of Honey Roasted "Nuts" (Chickpeas)

Servings: 8

Description:

All the taste of New York City's famous honey roasted peanuts without the nuts! Crunchy and full of protein, you'll be hooked on these sweet chickpeas!

Ingredients:

  • 15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp agave nectar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp raw sugar

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 45 min

Total time:

60 min

Instructions:

Place chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and allow to air dry, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat toaster oven to 350 F (or conventional oven to 325 F). Grease your cookie sheet or toaster oven tray, or line with parchment paper (preferred method). Transfer dry chickpeas on the sheet, making sure to line them up in single layer with no overlap. Lightly spray with cooking spray and bake 30 to 35 minutes, until crunchy. Meanwhile, whisk all remaining ingredients together, except for raw sugar, in a medium mixing bowl and set aside. Transfer raw sugar to a small food processor or grinder and process until smooth, fine and powdery -- a cross between the consistency of white refined sugar and confectioners (powdered) sugar. Dump the roasted chickpeas into the syrup mixture and stir to coat. Once evenly coated, sprinkle sugar over chickpeas, stirring gently, until all chickpeas have a nice sugar coating. Return to baking tray and bake for another 5 to 15 minutes, until there is a crystallized glaze and the chickpeas are completely crunchy, being careful not to burn.

Why Happy Herbivore?

Because I get home cooks. Like you, I want to eat healthy but I don't want to spend a fortune, face long hours in the kitchen or drive all around town to get ingredients. And I want every meal to be just as nutritious as it is delicious.
