Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat dry on all sides with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Spread them out on a clean dish towel and let them air-dry while the oven preheats.
    14 ounces chickpeas
  • Place the dried chickpeas in a medium bowl, then drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix gently with a wooden spoon.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Transfer the chickpeas to a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Place in the oven and roast. After 10 minutes, take the chickpeas out, stir, then roast for another 10 minutes or until the chickpeas are golden brown.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
    1 ½ tablespoons Parmesan or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Transfer the chickpeas to a clean bowl, then add the cheese mixture. Toss until the chickpeas are well-coated.

Notes

This recipe is for 6 servings of roasted chickpeas.
If you plan to store your chickpeas, spread them out on a piece of parchment paper and allow them to fully cool, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
