Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with a silipat or parchment paper. Drain and rinse chickpeas and then roll them around in a paper towel until they’re very dry. The more dry, the more crunchy. The more skin that comes off the chickpeas, the better!
In a medium bowl, stir together chickpeas, maple syrup, oil, cinnamon and salt.
Pour onto prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, tossing around with a spatula every 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. I like to add all the ingredients to a mason jar and just shake it until combined.
Place the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl. Toss everything together to combine. Pour dressing over top just prior to serving and stir to combine. Garnish with a few roasted almonds.
Store any extra roasted chickpeas in an air-tight container. They will get less crunchy over time.
