Cinnamon Sugar Chickpea Snacks
Cinnamon Sugar Chickpea Snacks
Chickpeas are a great source of protein and fiber – a perfect combo for keeping fuelled on outdoor adventures. These crunchy snacks are savoury and delicious (and perhaps a little addicting). COOKING METHOD: Dehydrating
Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked or canned chickpeas, drained
- 2 tbsps sugar
- 1 heaping tbsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 6 tbsps water
Instructions
- 1. Cook chickpeas (or drain and rinse from a can).
- 2. In a container, combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and water. Stir well to combine.
- 3. Add in chickpeas and let marinate for 12 hours.
- 4. After marinating, drain excess liquid from container and disperse chickpeas onto mesh lined dehydrating trays.
- 5. Dehydrate at 135℉ for about 6 hours.
Notes
- Don’t let this one marinate for more than 12 hours or else you get a very sticky marinade that gelatinizes and doesn’t dry properly
- For extra flavour, sprinkle on more cinnamon right before putting them into the dehydrator
- Dehydrating time may vary (the thickness and water content of the ingredients, as well as the humidity and altitude of your environment will impact dehydrating time)
