Crispy Chocolate Chickpeas

Ingredients

• 200 g Dried chickpeas (soaked for at least 12 hours and then boiled until tender)
• 100 g Dark chocolate (melted)

Steps

1. 1

   Soak the chickpeas in plenty of water for at least 12 hours.

2. 2

   Drain the soaking water and boil the chickpeas in fresh water until tender.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

4. 4

   Place the cooked and well-drained chickpeas on a baking sheet without adding any oil.

5. 5

   Bake for approximately 40 minutes until very crispy, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.

6. 6

   While the chickpeas cool slightly, melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals.

7. 7

   Place all the crispy chickpeas into the melted chocolate and stir well until each chickpea is completely coated.

8. 8

   Spread the coated chickpeas onto a tray lined with parchment paper, separating them so they don't stick together in a single block.

9. 9

   Place in the freezer until the chocolate is cold and firm.

Notes

It is essential that the chickpeas are well-dried before putting them in the oven so they become truly crispy. You can also try a savory version using garlic powder and paprika before baking.
