Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh rosemary or chili flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the chickpeas dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chickpeas in a single layer and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Ensure chickpeas are very dry before frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet to re-crisp.
