Crunchy oven-roasted chickpeas tossed with extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and grated Parmesan for a salty, nutty finish. Ready in about 35 minutes, they make an easy make-ahead snack or party appetizer served warm or at room temperature.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry. Place the chickpeas on a baking sheet, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; toss to coat.
Bake the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, or bake longer for extra-crispy chickpeas. Remove from the oven and let cool, then toss with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Notes
Pat chickpeas very dry after rinsing to help them crisp up. For extra-crispy results, bake longer than 30 minutes until desired crunch is reached. Store refrigerated for up to 1 week.
