Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas Recipe
These Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas are the perfect balance of sweet, crunchy, and wholesome. Canned chickpeas are dried, tossed in oil, baked until crisp, and then coated with a mix of cinnamon and sugar. They’re a healthier alternative to candy yet still festive enough for Halloween snack bowls or autumn gatherings. High in protein and fiber, they make a guilt-free treat for both kids and adults. Enjoy them on their own, sprinkled over yogurt, or as a crunchy topping for oatmeal and smoothie bowls.
