Aviator Eats: Crispy Chickpeas

Aviator Eats: Crispy Chickpeas

After making some sweet and salty treats last week we’re back on our health kick. This is a pantry raid recipe for when you’re craving a crunchy snack. All you need are three ingredients, two of which are definitely already in your house.

Ingredients

• 1 can of chickpeas (15.5 oz)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• Seasonings and/or herbs of your choice.

Recipe

• Drain the can of chickpeas and place on a sheet pan and dry with a paper towel. It is important to get the chickpeas as dry as possible so they get crispy.
• Transfer chickpeas to a small bowl and add the olive oil and seasonings, herbs
• Place the chickpeas back on a sheet pan in a single layer with parchment paper
• Place the chickpeas in an oven preheated to 400 degrees
• Roast for 20 minutes, then mix around and roast for an additional 20 minutes

If the chickpeas are not dry they’ll end up with a chewier texture. They can be used in salads, pastas, and sandwiches if this happens.

Flavor Combo Recommendations

• Garlic + Parmesean + Italian Herbs
• Chili Powder + Salt
• Salt + Pepper + Garlic
• Paprika + Turmeric + Salt
• Onion Powder + Garlic Powder + Salt
• Trader Joe’s Seasonings – These are our favorite.
