I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Yup, it’s me and I actually made this recipe!

Woooooohooooooo!

It feels really good to be back.  Like really, really, really good.  And I love how excited my kids are when they see me cooking again.  They are just happy to have their old mom back. And this old mom is happy to be here.

I bought this bag of Chocolate Vanilla Roasted Chickpeas at Whole Foods last week.  They were good and they inspired me to make this recipe (which is way better by the way).  This was perfect for me because it really is easy to make.  Only 5 ingredients and minimal prep, what could be easier?

Check this out.  Chickpeas before roasting..

Chocolate Covered Roasted Chickpeas

Course Snack
Author Lauren Kelly Nutrition

Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil slightly melted
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon unrefined sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Rinse, drain and thoroughly dry the chickpeas. (They must be completely dry or they won't be as crunchy)
  3. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray (I used a coconut oil spray).
  4. Place chickpeas on the pan.
  5. Sprinkle with salt.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes, making sure to shake the pan half way though, until chickpeas are golden on the outside and crispy.
  7. Mix remaining coconut oil, cocoa and sugar in a bowl.
  8. Add roasted chickpeas and stir until thoroughly combined.
  9. Allow to set on parchment paper and let cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Enjoy!

These can be an easy on-the-go snack, but I also put them on top of oatmeal, Greek yogurt, salads, you name it!

I hope you love this as much as we did!  Thanks for stopping by!

    So glad you’re back!! I’ve seen roasted chickpeas done so many ways, but NEVER coated in chocolate. Brilliant, my friend.

      Hi Giselle! If there were any chickpea skins left over after rinsing or roasting, I just discarded them.

    Hi Lauren, I made these today and within a few hours they lost their crunch – is that to be expected or did I not roast them long enough to truly dry them out? I’m thinking 375 for 30 next time… they are great and satisfy that choc snack craving!!

      Hi Halle! I am glad you liked them! Did you make sure they were really dry? I know it’s annoying but in order for them to crunchy then need to be really, really dry 🙂

    Can you start with chick peas from a bag? Do i have to go through process of soaking then cooking and then baking them to get them ready for this recipe.

      Hi Brittany! Yes, if you want to use dried chick peas you will have to soak them first. I hope you like them!
