Garlic Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas

Chickpeas are my favorite so I tried out this recipe from Modern Parents Messy Kids. Again, it's another simple and healthy snack. I hope to try their recipe for the honey cinnamon roasted chickpeas soon and I will let you know how they turn out!

Prep: 10 min
Bake: 45-60 min

Ingredients:
2 cans of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tbs olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Prepare the beans for roasting by draining and rinsing them, then letting them dry on a towel until most of the excess moisture is absorbed. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast the chickpeas in the oven for 45-60 minutes or until the beans are crunchy throughout (just test one- if they are still mostly soft on the inside and there's no crunch, keep baking). 
3. Immediately (while beans are still hot), toss with olive oil and seasonings. Serve hot or at room temperature. They are best the first day, but can be kept in an airtight container for up for 4 days.

I took my chickpeas out of the oven 15 minutes early and seasoned them. Then, I put them back in to bake the rest of the time. I thought this worked well because the seasonings stuck to the chickpeas instead of sliding off! They were soooo good! I hope you like them too!
