⠀ Ingredients
-
1 (15)oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/2 tablespoon Native Forest Organic Coconut Oil (melted)

⠀ Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the chickpeas out on a paper towel or dish cloth and pat dry with another towel.

Place the chickpeas on a parchment lined baking sheet and toss with 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil. Bake for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the coconut flakes, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and salt.

Add in the cooked chickpeas, maple, and coconut oil. Toss well and spread back out onto the baking sheet.
