Time 45m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher or coarse salt, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean dish towel or a few paper towels. Toss the chickpeas on the baking sheet with the olive oil and salt.
  • Bake the chickpeas until they have turned golden brown and shrink slightly, 35 to 40 minutes. They will harden slightly and crisp up as they cool, so do not overbake them or they will get too tough and hard. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt as necessary. Serve the chickpeas warm or at room temperature. Photograph by Todd Coleman/The Mom 100 Cookbook
