Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans) rinsed, drained, and patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon very finely grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Rinse and drain can of chickpeas and lay on a paper towel. Pat completely dry.*
  2. Spread chickpeas in an even layer on baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring after 40 minutes, and each 10 minutes thereafter, until crunchy all the way through.**
  3. As chickpeas are baking, mix together in a small container paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Once chickpeas are crunchy, immediately pour into a mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pour in seasoning and stir until completely coated. Return chickpeas to oven for additional 2-3 minutes to set coating.
  5. Remove from oven, add more salt if desired, and allow to cool before serving.
  6. Serve plain as a snack or as a topping for salads. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
*I let my chickpeas set out for 30 minutes to completely dry.
**Mine were crunchy after 50 minutes.
