Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • Zest of 1/2 orange (about 1/2 teaspoon)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Spread the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel, and rub gently until dry.
  • Spread the chickpeas on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the thyme and salt. Using a microplane or citrus zester, zest half of the orange over the chickpeas. Mix well using your hands.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then give the baking sheet a quick shake. (Do not remove the baking sheet from the oven). Bake for 10 minutes more. Taste the chickpeas (carefully). If they are golden, but need to be crispier, bake for 3 minutes more.
