Ingredients

Instructions

  • Get ready. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a sheet pan. Drain the chickpeas and spread them on paper towels and pat them very dry. (It’s important to dry the chickpeas very well so they will crisp up.)
  • Crisp the chickpeas. Transfer the chickpeas to them to a rimmed sheet pan. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and drizzle with enough olive oil to coat (about 2 teaspoons). Toss well to make sure the chickpeas are fully coated in olive oil.  Bake, shaking the sheet pan occasionally, until they begin to crisp up and gain some color, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving the oven on.
  • Season. Push the chickpeas closer together on the pan, then sprinkle with the oregano and parmesan.
  • Finish, cool, and serve. Return the pan to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and crisped up, about 10 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before breaking up and serving.

Notes

  • Shop this recipe: Visit our shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients including the olive oil and Greek oregano used in this recipe.
  • The drier the better for the chickpeas! This will allow them to get crispy and golden rather than steam in your oven. You can even spin in a salad spinner if you don’t mind washing an extra dish.
  • Storage: Leftovers can last for a couple of days in the fridge but may lose the crisp a bit.
  • If you’d like to cook the chickpeas from scratch rather than using canned: Stock up on my favorite dried chickpeas at our shop, and follow this step-by-step guide to cook them to perfection.
