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!
