Ingredients: 2 cups chickpeas ((garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed, dried); 1 Tbsp. olive oil; 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup; ½ tsp. ground ginger; ½ tsp. ground cinnamon; ¼ tsp. ground cardamom; ¼ tsp. ground cloves; ¼ tsp. sea salt ((or Himalayan salt)); ¼ tsp. ground black pepper

Wickedly versatile, and loaded with protein and fiber, chickpeas are destined for so much more than just hummus.

They’re fantastic in salads, stews, mashed up with avocado, and even make a tasty topping for cottage cheese.

This Maple Chai Roasted Chickpea recipe will convince you that they can also be an addictive, crunchy snack that’s incredibly simple to make.

This recipe features a unique combination of sweet and savory flavors — cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves.

A spoonful of maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness that complements the savory elements of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Snack on these Maple Chai Roasted Chickpeas fresh from the oven, or try them on a salad instead of croutons.

Pro tip: Don’t store leftover roasted chickpeas in a plastic container – they’ll quickly lose their crunch. Instead, put them in a large jar with plenty of extra space for air to circulate, or keep them at room temperature in a paper bag.
