Back to reality…with a super simple, delicious recipe. Add this one to your list for Meatless Monday options. I was inspired by Mama Pea‘s recipe for Pumpkin Spice Roasted Chickpeas , I tossed these together in no time last night.

Maple Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
salt and cinnamon for sprinkling

Directions: 
Preheat an oven on the broiler setting.
In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil and maple syrup ’til coated.
Place the coated chickpeas on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the chickpeas.
Place in the oven and roast until slightly brown and crunchy.
Enjoy!

Suggestion…they were perfect over a spinach salad with a sweet potato, raisins, crushed pecans, and a maple vinaigrette.
