Ingredients
UnitsScale
1 15-ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Drain chickpeas in a strainer and rinse. Place chickpeas on several layers of paper towels and blot to dry completely. (This step is important to ensure that your chickpeas will get crispy.)
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until it starts to glisten. Add chickpeas to hot skillet (be careful of any splattering) and cook until golden brown and crispy all over – approximately 20 minutes – stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, transfer chickpeas to a bowl. Sprinkle cheese, garlic powder, lemon zest, oregano, salt and pepper over the chickpeas and toss to coat.
Cool seasoned chickpeas on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
