Decadent and oh so delicious, salty and sweet flavors will bounce on your tongue as you eat these. Serve them for breakfast with scrambled eggs and croissants or as a snack but either way, they are absolutely delicious.
Ingredients:
One 19 oz can of chick peas, drained and rinsed
6 slices of bacon
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 handfuls of broken pecans
Pre-heat oven to 325 F
On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, roast the chick peas and bacon for 30 minutes, or until bacon starts to brown a bit. Increase the oven temperature to 400 F. Add the pecans and stir, then put the pan back into the oven for about 5 minutes more. Drizzle the maple syrup over all, stirring. Don't worry if it looks like a lot, it will be tasty. Trust me!
Put the pan back in the oven and let the maple syrup bubble and glaze the bacon, pecans, and chick peas, which should take about 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir, and let cool a little before you serve.
