Chickpeas taste so wonderful when roasted in a marinade, and I love this particular one so much because there are so many competing – but complementary – flavors, like lemon, maple syrup, and rosemary.

Creamy and Dreamy Roasted Chickpeas
with a side of spinach and peas
Ingredients (for two servings):

1 cup chickpeas
1.5 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Drain and rinse chickpeas.
In a small bowl, combine mustard, rosemary, maple syrup, and lemon juice.  Stir thoroughly and add chickpeas.  Let stand 5 minutes.
Grease glass casserole dish and pour in chickpeas.
Bake for 10 minutes, then turn oven to low broil and broil chickpeas for 3 – 5 minutes.  Be careful!  Watch to ensure they don’t burn.
Remove from oven and mix in goat cheese.
Serve and enjoy!  Eat with vegetables and a grain for a complete meal.


While the chickpeas were roasted, I prepared mixed kasha pilaf with steamed spinach
