Crispy Chickpeas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. In medium bowl, stir together chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika and 1/2 tsp. Adobo; transfer to foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are golden brown and crisp, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer chickpeas to serving bowl; season with more Adobo, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Once the chickpeas have been thoroughly rinsed, spread them on a clean dish towel and pat them as dry as possible. Remove any skins that have loosened. If desired, remove the skins from all the chickpeas (this will result in a slightly crispier chickpea, but it is not necessary). Transfer the chickpeas to a medium bowl and toss with the baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder and cook, stirring, until the spices are lightly toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of the hot sauce and stir to combine. Pour over the chickpeas and fold gently to coat well.
• Scatter the chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until the chickpeas are a deep golden brown and very crispy, tossing them and rotating the sheet halfway through, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the hot sauce. Shake the pan back and forth so that the chickpeas roll and are well coated in the sauce. Continue to bake until the sauce has dried out, about 5 minutes more.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce over the top and toss to coat. Let sit on the baking sheet until cooled completely, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.

Steps:

• Turn heat to high under a large, deep skillet, and add meat a little at a time, breaking it into small pieces as you do. Stir and break up meat a bit more, then add chickpeas. Keep heat high, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until chickpeas begin to brown and pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Don't worry if mixture sticks a bit, but if it begins to scorch, lower heat slightly.
• Add cumin, chili or chili powder and garlic. Cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add reserved cooking liquid, and stir, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper, then turn heat to medium-low. Continue to cook until mixture is no longer soupy but not dry.
• Stir in olive oil, then taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish if you like, and serve immediately, with rice or pita bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with the oil, salt and pepper. Spread the chickpeas out into a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until crispy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Serve hot.
