By á-4084

If you are craving something sweet but know inhaling candy will have you feeling flat, reach for this warm, low-cal option instead: honey-roasted cinnamon chickpeas. High in protein and fiber, chickpeas offer a satisfying crunch when roasted, and if you toss them with a little honey and cinnamon, you'll have a sweet treat that will also give you a boost of energy.

Ingredients

• 1 (15-ounce) can organic garbanzo beans
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat silicone mat.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Place them on a towel to dry off.

Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until crispy. Test one, and if it's still soft, bake for longer.

While the chickpeas are still hot, toss them in a bowl with the oil, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Enjoy as is, or for a caramelized effect, place them back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so.

Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container.
