Crispy Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas
Golden, crunchy chickpeas roasted with olive oil, warm spices, and a generous coating of finely grated parmesan. These savory bites are crisp on the outside, tender in the center, and perfect for snacking, topping salads, or adding texture to your favorite bowls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the drained and rinsed chickpeas very dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a mixing bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle evenly with the grated parmesan. Toss gently to coat.
- Return to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up further.
Notes
- Dry the chickpeas thoroughly to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan, use two baking sheets if doubling the batch.
- For extra crunch, roast a few minutes longer while watching carefully.
- Store completely cooled chickpeas in a loosely covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
