Mocha Roasted Chickpeas (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Mocha Roasted Chickpeas.  I’ve wanted to make a version of these for awhile.  So I finally got around to it and I am so glad I did.  Originally, it was just going to be chocolate, but at the last minute, I decided to add coffee extract.  They came out great!

Honey Mustard Roasted Chickpeas

Have you ever roasted chickpeas?  They are seriously good!  This Honey Mustard Roasted Chickpeas recipe is my latest creation, and they are out of this world awesome.  When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I ate an obscene amount of honey mustard pretzels. This was before we started this “whole food life.”  They were really good, but the ingredients are less than desirable.  Well, I think I re-created the flavor in a healthier way with these honey mustard roasted chickpeas.  If you love roasted chickpeas, check out my maple cinnamon roasted chickpeas, or my sriracha roasted chickpeas.

For those of you that can’t get roasted chickpeas crunchy, let me tell you a trick I learned recently.  Before you go to make these, lay the chickpeas on a baking sheet and let them dry out for a few hours.  Once they have dried a bit, then mix in all the ingredients and bake.  It really makes a difference!

Gingerbread Roasted Chickpeas

We love gingerbread everything all year long.  How about you?  These Gingerbread Roasted Chickpeas are perfect just about any time.  I love roasted chickpeas because they are an allergy friendly snack.  My daughter is allergic to tree nuts and sesame seeds, so she loves to snack on roasted chickpeas.  This would make the perfect party snack too.

Smokey Roasted Chickpeas

Sometimes in the late afternoons, I get an urge to snack.  Roasted chickpeas are a great, healthy snack alternative.  They can be done sweet or savory.  I made a sweet version with my Maple Cinnamon Chickpeas.  This is a savory option.

I am warning you, these are highly addictive!  They are very easy to make.  If you don’t eat them all at once, you can store them in a container with rice scattered at the bottom.  The rice will help absorb the moisture and keep them crispy.  In addition to the spices I list, you can also add a pinch of cayenne if you like some extra heat.

Recipe Notes

I check and shake them often to avoid them burning which can easily happen. If you feel the need, you can brush more BBQ sauce on right before removing from the oven. I make mine in very small batches so they don’t last long. They tend to lose their crunchiness once stored in a container. My kids will eat them soggy to though. They don’t seem to mind!
