Pumpkin Spice Roasted Chickpeas

I ran accross this recipe today and HAD to make it.  I had everything I needed and whipped some up just in time for my kids to have as a school snack.  Talk about a healthy and satisfying snack!  They were so good!  I think they would also be very yummy on a salad.  I made a double batch (because one can of beans doesn't last very long in my family) and they were gone in minutes.  Give these a try if you're looking for something sweet and healthy to snack on or if you need a new salad topping!


Pumpkin Spice Roasted Chickpeas

1 can of chickpeas, rinsed, drained and patted dry
2 T. maple syrup (you could also use agave nectar)
1 t. canola oil (or oil of your choice)
1 t. apple cider vinegar
1/8 t. salt
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. ginger
3/4 t. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.  Spread chickpeas on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.  Bake for 25 minutes. Stir chickpeas every ten minutes to ensure even crisping.
