Ingredients

1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried well
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp lemon zest
Kosher salt

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400 F. Dry the chickpeas very well so they roast instead of steam.

Step 2

Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Roast until the chickpeas are crisp and dry on the outside, shaking the pan once or twice.

Step 4

Toss with the Parmesan and lemon zest while still warm, then let cool slightly before serving.
