CRUNCHY SPICED CHICKPEAS



Crunchy Spiced Chickpeas image

There's a Mexican joint Michele and I go to once in a while that serves a complimentary bowl of spicy, fried chickpeas when you sit down to eat. It's a very nice touch, and a periodic reminder of what a great, highly-addictive snack this is. As in, only make single batches at a time, because you will eat everything you make. Season with any combination of spices that you like.

Categories     beans, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield About 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and patted very dry
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread the chickpeas out evenly on a sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden in spots, shaking the pan occasionally, about 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the chickpeas hang out for another 10 to 15 minutes, checking in occasionally to make sure they do not burn. This will help keep them crunchy for an extended period of time.
  • In a 10-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the turmeric, ginger and black pepper, and stir frequently until the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chickpeas and toss to coat in the spiced oil. Season well with salt and serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS WITH SESAME, CUMIN AND LIME



Crunchy Chickpeas With Sesame, Cumin and Lime image

It's a bit more work than just tossing chickpeas, oil and spices together onto a sheet pan, but dry-roasting the beans first, then stirring them into oil that's been infused with spices encourages the seasoning to cling to the bean. Here, nutty sesame seeds are combined with earthy cumin before being tossed with roasted chickpeas and a little lime zest for brightness. They make a nice addition to a charcuterie plate or as a topping for roasted vegetables such as carrots or baby turnips. They also make a great high-protein snack for kids of all ages.

Time 45m

Yield About 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and patted very dry
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons lime zest
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • While the chickpeas roast, toast the sesame seeds in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring often so they do not burn, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside and wipe out the skillet. Using the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat and add the cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sesame seeds back to the skillet and stir together.
  • Add the chickpeas directly to the skillet and toss together until everything is well coated. Remove from the heat, stir in lime zest and season well with salt. Serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS WITH ALEPPO PEPPER AND LEMON ZEST



Crunchy Chickpeas With Aleppo Pepper and Lemon Zest image

Zippy lemon zest and mildly spicy Aleppo pepper are tossed together with warm roasted chickpeas for a satisfying snack, which pairs well with everything from a gin and tonic to a cold beer. Tossing the dried, toasted beans in oil after they roast helps gives the pepper and lemon something to adhere to. If you're not having cocktails, these can be used in a salad in place of croutons or anywhere you want some crunch. If you don't have Aleppo pepper, red-pepper flakes make a fine substitute.

CRUNCHY ROASTED ZA'ATAR CHICKPEAS



Crunchy Roasted Za'atar Chickpeas image

Za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice mix made from dried thyme, sumac, and sesame seeds, gives these roasted chickpeas a fragrant, herbal, tangy bite. Unlike other similar recipes, the chickpeas are roasted without any oil, which is added after they come out of the oven. This allows the peas to crisp up without turning greasy. Do make sure to dry them out for an hour as directed, which adds to their crunchy texture. It's hard to stop eating these once you start, so if you're serving these to a group, consider making a double batch.
