Holiday Party Idea: Rosemary Roasted Chickpeas

by | Appetizer, Entertaining, Sides

When you are a nut-free home, party prep can be difficult.  Gone are the bowls of smoked almonds or spicy pecans.  Honestly, I do miss Hail Merry  Orange Rosemary Pecans and Lemon Thyme Pecans and ….oh, sorry…

On a road trip two summers ago, in Whole Foods looking for a few snacks I stumbled upon roasted chickpeas.  Hmmmm…..maybe?  Well, they were great!

Rosemary Roasted Chickpeas
 
Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 45-60 minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbs garlic olive oil (I used Stonewall Kitchen Roasted Garlic Oil)
  • 3 tbs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Sea Salt
  • **Note: If you don't have garlic olive oil, you can add 2 finely minced garlic cloves to the mix.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  3. Place chickpeas in a large bowl.
  4. Toss with olive oil and rosemary.
  5. Spread on baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes. Peas will be dehydrated and crisp.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Grind sea salt over the peas.
  9. Cool completely and serve.
  10. These will keep for a few days in an airtight container.
