US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Pour chickpeas through a mesh strainer to drain them, then rinse them. Transfer to a plate and pat them dry with a few paper towels.
Pour the chickpeas into a bowl, then pour the melted coconut oil overtop and stir to combine. Transfer the chickpeas onto the baking sheet and roast them for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together either in a saucepan over the stove or in the microwave, stirring frequently until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour into a large bowl.
Once the chickpeas are roasted, transfer them into the bowl with the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Then, pour them back out onto the baking sheet, sprinkle with a little sea salt and place the sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, break them apart (they will break easily/won't stick to the pan -- don't worry!) and enjoy!
