Garlic and herb parmesan roasted chickpeas are a delicious and healthy snack that's easy to make. These crispy, savory chickpeas are packed with flavor from garlic, oregano, and parmesan cheese, making them a perfect addition to your snack lineup or even a tasty topping for salads and soups.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and pat them dry as much as possible. Removing excess moisture will help them roast evenly and become crispier.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Stir the chickpeas halfway through the baking time to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot chickpeas. Use a spatula to gently toss the chickpeas, ensuring they are evenly coated with the melted Parmesan.
- Allow the chickpeas to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Once they reach room temperature, transfer them to a serving bowl.
- Serve the Garlic and Herb Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas as a crunchy snack, salad topper, or side dish. They are perfect whether enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure the chickpeas are well drained and patted dry before roasting; excess moisture can prevent them from becoming crispy.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference by adding more or less garlic, oregano, or parmesan cheese.
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
- Roast the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
With their irresistible garlic and herb flavor, these parmesan roasted chickpeas are sure to become a favorite. They’re simple to prepare and offer a wholesome alternative to traditional snacks. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for maximum crunch and flavor!
