Ingredients
1(15 oz) canchickpeasdrained, rinsed, and patted dry
1cupwhite vinegar
1tbspolive oil
1/4tspsalt
Instructions
Soak chickpeas in vinegar for about 30 minutes. Drain, but don’t rinse. Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat, foil, or parchment paper.
Toss chickpeas with olive oil and salt to coat.
Spread chickpeas evenly onto prepared baking sheet and roast for about 30-45 minutes, or until chickpeas are golden brown. Stir chickpeas every 15 minutes for even browning.
Notes
For best results, use a well-ground salt (think like the kind you'd find in a typical salt shaker). You can use sea salt or any other salt, just so long as it's finally ground enough to adhere to the chickpeas.
It's important that your chickpeas are patted dry before tossing in olive oil and salt so that they roast properly.
Store your roasted chickpeas in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
