We baked these for 60 minutes and they DID crisp up after, so I think 50-55 might be plenty. We felt the cinnamon overpowered the sugar and would add more sugar next time, but I think we would like these better as a savory snack. I think I will try that, with maybe cajun or garlic or something like that. Thanks for the idea!

Nice healthy snack! Made half recipe and wished I had made a full recipe. The only change I made was to use Splenda for baking in place of sugar. Did heed another reviewers comments about making sure as to not leave the chickpeas to wet or they will not turn out. Did bake the full 60 minutes for a nice crisp little pea. Thanks so much for the post.

The first time around I totally destroyed these - I think I left them too wet and then I also burnt them. The second time around they turned out great and my husband was surprised it was the same recipe. What a fun little treat plus tons of protein. Thanks a bunch!! Made for Veggie Swap 23!!
