GARLIC, HERB & PARMESAN ROASTED CHICKPEAS

Read...

We know chickpeas are fantastic little powerhouses of nutrition but lets face it, they are not the most appealing food for kids. The trick is to make chickpeas more exciting with a flavour that your kids are already familiar with. This Garlic, Herb & Parmesan coating went down well in my house but you could also try

Ingredients

• 1 can cooked chickpeas (240g drained weight)
• 1.5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic, crushed
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• 2 tbsp parmesan, grated
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200c and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
2. Drain the water from the chickpeas and place them between several layers of kitchen paper. Leave for 15 minutes, allowing as much moisture as possible to transfer onto the paper.
3. Mix the oil, garlic and oregano together in a bowl. Add the parmesan and then season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the chickpeas and stir until well combined.
4. Spread the chickpeas onto the baking tray and roast for 30-40 minutes, turning 3 or 4 times.
5. Allow the chickpeas to fully cool before removing from the tray. This will help to keep them crunchy and stop them going chewy. Store in an air-tight jar for 2-3 days.
