Pumpkin Pie Spice Roasted Chickpeas

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

Everyone seems to love crunchy foods. I love the sound of biting into an apple, that fresh crisp sound, or breaking a piece of celery in half.

I know I’ve heard people tell me they crave crunchy foods. That’s strange to me, because I’ve never craved the texture or sound of a food. Ever.

But I am aware it is definitely a thing, and maybe in a way, I get it.

SO Let’s get started.

You’re going to mix your maple syrup (the real stuff!), canola oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon together in a small bowl. You don’t need one as large as I used as you can clearly see.

Pumpkin Pie Syrup Mixture

Start with a can of Chickpeas. Drain into a strainer and rinse them clean.

You might find some of the outside layers coming off, just remove the ones you can and ignore the rest. Won’t change anything.

Once rinsed, pat them dry with paper towels to get them as dry as you can. Coat them in the syrup mixture evenly. 

Towel dried chickpeas

Lay them out flat on a baking pan and bake them at 350 for 25-30 minutes gently stirring them around every 10 minutes to keep them from sticking (they WILL stick, so be sure to watch this). ENJOY!

  2. It’s funny, chickpeas plain I’m kind of meh about (it’s that beany texture they have) but whirred into hummus or roasted or friend, I’m all in! Love this.

  3. Just a little sanity check here. Is there a step missing in the directions? Do you need to mix the chickpeas with the spice mix before baking? Thanks. This recipe sounds like it would make a really delicious snack.

    1. Good catch Susan, thank you. I actually re-wrote the post before putting it up and a photo of the step and the step actually disappeared. So I quickly re-added the step in there, thank you for saying something!

  4. It’s funny you mentioned people craving the sound of food. It drives me nuts when other people are eating crunchy food. It’s an actual disease with a name (that I can’t remember right now) but I can’t stand it. I do still like crunchy foods, though, and have been wanting to try roasted chickpeas for a long time.

  7. I love chickpeas and have enjoyed them roasted at restaurants. I never thought to actually make them at home…until now!

    Thanks for a delicious recipe. I am wondering if they will still roast as nicely if I bake them on parchment paper. What do you think?

  8. We love crunchy snacks. Sour cream
    and onion chips, pretzels, etc … These are such a better, healthier option. Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for posting!
