CHICKPEA NIBBLES AND CRUNCHY SPLIT PEA BITES



Chickpea Nibbles and Crunchy Split Pea Bites image

Loaded with folate, iron, and B vitamins, chickpeas and split peas are also high in protein and fiber. Here they combine to make a satisfying mid-afternoon snack; you can also serve either of them as an easy hors d'oeuvre, alongside a bowl of olives.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
(makes 1 cup)
1 cup dried green or yellow split peas
3 cups water
4 teaspoons sesame oil
4 teaspoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower
Coarse salt
(makes 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat chickpeas dry, then toss in a bowl with oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and the chili powder. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until crunchy, stirring occasionally, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool before serving. Peas may be kept in an airtight container for 3 days at room temperature.
  • Place split peas in a large bowl; add the water and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let soak at room temperature until softened, 4 to 5 hours.
  • Drain split peas and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add 2 teaspoons of each type of oil. Add half the peas and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn golden brown in spots and become crunchy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Repeat with the remaining oil and peas. Let cool before serving. Peas may be kept for 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
