Ingredients




2 cups chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, very coarsely chopped
8 sage leaves
1/2 lemon
Coarse sea salt

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 425. 2 In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil. Add the chickpeas, garlic and a pinch of salt, and sauté for about 5 minutes. Be sure the beans are well coated with the oil, then add the sage, and remove the pan from the stove. 3 Place the skillet in the oven and roast, giving it a shake every so often. Roast until the chickpeas begin to turn brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside to cool a bit. 4 When the chickpeas are still hot, sprinkle with a little additional olive oil, a little extra pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon.

About


I do so love a crunchy, salty snack. I also love to improvise and concoct with items in my refrigerator rather than going to the store with designed menus. Here is what I cooked up from what was on hand. This is perfect noshable, snackable food.
