In this post you will find out how to make crunchy chickpeas<\/strong>!<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

This is one of those \"recipes\" that I actually didn't know if I had to share or not. Like that combo, pumpkin and feta cheese. Do you remember? Why should I share it - I thought - if I barely have doses?<\/p>\n

Tips & tricks<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Since there are no doses, let\u2019s focus on tips and tricks to make super crunchy chickpeas. I SWEAR: these are the crunchiest I\u2019ve ever done!
\nWhen I baked them the first times, they were never crunchy. They were super tasty, but the consistency was the same, oven or not.
\nSo I did a lot of research and I found out that someone used grill option. So what was the secret?
\nI\u2019ve tried different combinations: just grill, oven + grill, oven, oil, without oil\u2026<\/p>\n

\"how

Delicious & healthy extremely crunchy chickpeas.<\/p><\/div>\n

Grill option<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The best combination was\u2026oven + grill option! We use the oven to cook them first, then we bake with the grill option to give extra crunchiness to these amazing chickpeas.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> dry the drained chickpeas VERY WELL. This is essential.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Spices<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Spices deserve a whole \u201cchapter\u201d. I personally love smoked paprika and chives, but you can use whatever you want. Combine two or more spices and these crunchy chickpeas will become your favorite snack.<\/p>\n

You can use garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, ginger, turmeric, onion, cumin, nutmeg, cayenne pepper\u2026
\nFor a sweet version: maple syrup, cinnamon, honey, nutmeg\u2026<\/p>\n

Let your imagination run free!<\/p>\n

Oil, high quality oil<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Fats are your friends if you know how to use them. In this case, it\u2019s important to use high quality extra virgin olive oil to give crunchiness. I coat the chickpeas with \u00be tablespoon of oil, every can (200\/230 gr).<\/p>\n
