    Instructions

    HOW TO MAKE IT

      Seasoned Chickpeas

      • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare a sheet pan with sides lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking or use a well-seasoned cast iron pan.
      • Strain chickpeas and rinse until foaminess subsides. In a large mixing bowl add the oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne, if using. Stir to combine. Add the strained chickpeas and toss until coated.
      • Spread mixture onto the sheet pan or cast iron pan in one layer. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes. The chickpeas will have a lightly crisp exterior and firm, yet creamy interior.
      • Roasted chickpeas stay fresh for up to 7 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

      Variations

        Salt and Vinegar Chickpeas

        • Follow the directions above by adding the citric acid and vinegar to the mixing bowl. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing frequently the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent any burning.

        BBQ Chickpeas

        • Follow the directions above by adding the BBQ seasoning and omitting the salt from the mixing bowl. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing frequently the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent any burning. Drizzle with your favorite BBQ sauce before serving.
