Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (drained and patted dry)
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
Instructions
- Roast the Chickpeas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the drained and dried chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them for 20-25 minutes until they are crispy and golden, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting. Let them cool completely.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it gently using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Coat the Chickpeas: Transfer the cooled roasted chickpeas into the melted chocolate. Stir well to coat all the chickpeas evenly with chocolate.
- Chill: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a fork or slotted spoon, transfer the chocolate-coated chickpeas onto the parchment paper in a single layer. Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Serve and Store: Once the chocolate is set, serve immediately or store the chocolate-covered chickpeas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Make sure chickpeas are fully dried before roasting to get the best crunch.
- Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
- You can add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate for a sweet-salty twist.
- Store in a cool place to prevent chocolate melting.
