Ingredients
For the Chickpeas:
- 1 15-oz can garbanzo beans
- 1 1/2 Tbsp avocado oil or coconut oil
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chocolate chips of choice
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil or coconut oil
- 2 to 3 tsp coarse sea salt for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Drain the can of chickpeas into a colander and rinse them well. Pat the chickpeas dry, then spread them on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle the chickpeas with avocado oil or coconut oil and toss until everything is well-coated. Roast for 50 to 60 minutes, shaking the pan half-way through, until chickpeas are very crispy.
- Place the chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 second increments, stirring well between, until chocolate has melted, about 60 to 80 seconds total.
- Add the chickpeas to the bowl with the chocolate and stir well until the chickpeas are completely coated in chocolate.
- Transfer the chocolate-covered chickpeas to a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet and use a spoon to make clusters/piles of chickpeas. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate has set up, at least 2 hours.
- Break the piles of chocolate covered chickpeas apart and enjoy!
