Crispy Honey Roasted Chickpeas Are Healthy and Yummy

By Stacey Freeman 2 Comments

I’m on a healthy snack kick and I also want to find ways to get my kids to try new foods. That’s why I decided to try making these honey roasted chickpeas.

I’m totally guilty of giving my kids packaged snacks. Those little fish, bunny-shaped crackers, you name it, I’ve bought it for them. I always told myself I’d be the mom who didn’t give her kids packaged, processed snacks, but I do. Let’s be honest, it’s pretty hard not to!

But whenever I can, I do try to make healthy and homemade snacks. Recently, I made beet chips, zucchini crisps, and carrot chips. My kids, shockingly, loved all three! I never imagined they would like all of them, so I had little hope for the honey almond chickpeas. They’ve never had chickpeas before and have only tried beans a couple of times. They do love green beans, but black beans didn’t go over that well.


I decided to try these honey roasted chickpeas because they were super easy to make and I knew I’d love the flavors if my kids didn’t.  The recipe is also super easy and I already had the ingredients on hand. If you don’t like almonds or almond butter, you can totally use your favorite nut butter or sunflower seed butter instead.


These honey roasted turned out way better than I expected. They were crunchy and the perfect combination of salty and sweet. They actually reminded me of my honey nut bumble bee cookies, but obviously they are way healthier since chickpeas are also a great source of protein. I think these chickpeas would be great on a salad or just as an individual snack. My kids did enjoy them, so I think I’ll try some different versions of these roasted chickpeas in the next few months. I’m always excited to create new recipes that are healthy that they’ll also love.

Honey Roasted Chickpeas Recipe

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. creamy almond butter
15-ounce can chickpeas
1 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar (optional, for additional sweetness)
salt, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Empty can of chickpeas into a large strainer, allowing the juices to drain before rinsing well with cold water to remove the starch. Optional: remove the outer skins by lightly pinching each individual bean between your fingers. This step takes an additional 10 minutes and isn’t mandatory, but it really helps add some extra crunch to the finished batch.

Spread chickpeas out onto the prepared baking sheet and use a paper towel to pat them dry. You want to be sure to get as much moisture off as you can. The drier they are, the crunchier they’ll be. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add almond butter, honey, and sugar, mixing well to ensure that everything is well combined. Add chickpeas to mixing bowl and use a spatula to ensure that they are evenly coated with the almond butter and honey mixture. Pour them back onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.

Bake for ~30 minutes, or until hone roasted chickpeas are crunchy and no longer soft in the middle. Use a spatula to stir them every 10 minutes or so to make sure they don’t burn. When fully cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Can these be made in an Air Fryer, and if so, what would be the temperature and cooking time?
    Thanks.

      Hi Delores, I don’t have an air fryer, so I’m sorry I can’t help answer that question.

Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell your kids not to touch their hair. I can’t believe I have to say this or explain why this is racist. But I do.

I’m sure this seems like a random statement to most people. It might not seem like a big deal to you. But it’s not random and it is a big deal. It’s a common experience for Black people, and it’s not ok. 

Given everything going on right now, it’s hard for me to talk about a right to our personal space and bodies. That’s part of it. But it’s also about making my kids feel like an other.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing the story of my shock and surprise when my daughter told me she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair down anymore because so many of her classmates were touching her hair. And then being dumbfounded to find out my son has had a similar experience. I also share information on racial micro aggressions and history of Black people’s hair. If this story is surprising or confusing to you, please read more about why it’s never ok to touch Black people’s hair.

I was going to post about summer fashion. I was go I was going to post about summer fashion. I was going to talk about my kids’ beach camp next week. 

But this can’t go unsaid. I am so angry right now. I am terrified for my daughter and women in the U.S.

We just lost a fundamental human right. We just lost control of our bodies. 

This is not about saving the lives of unborn children. Because if it was, then all guns would be banned - because guns are the leading cause of childhood death in the U.S. 

This decision is about control. About controlling women. 

If you have the ability to choose whether to own a gun, why can’t I choose the healthcare decisions that are right for me? This is no longer a democracy. This decision has so much greater impact than people even realize. 

If you’re looking for resources, I’m linking a comprehensive one in my stories. This is not a place for debate, this is a place to protect women and our rights to control our bodies. We must stand together.
