Crispy Parmesan Chickpeas

By Chez_Alexander

Ingredients

• 1 (15-oz.) can unsalted chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 ounce finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 Tbsp.)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Drain and rinse chickpeas; pat dry with a paper towel. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chickpeas to pan; cook 17 minutes or until golden brown and crispy all over, stirring occasionally.

2. Transfer chickpeas to a bowl. Add cheese, garlic powder, lemon rind, oregano, salt, and pepper; toss gently. Serve immediately, or cool chickpea mixture in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet before storing in an airtight container.
