Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed): provide the base and protein-rich crunch
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil: helps seasonings stick and promotes crispiness
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced): adds bold, aromatic flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt: enhances natural flavor and balance
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: adds mild spice and depth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped): adds a bright, fresh finish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them dry using a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chickpeas with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Remove from the oven once golden brown and crunchy. Sprinkle with chopped parsley while still warm.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving to achieve the perfect crispy texture.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting for maximum crispiness.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days.
- Do not refrigerate; moisture can soften the roasted chickpeas.
- Experiment with spices like paprika, cumin, or curry powder for fun variations.
