Yes, a busy, but fun weekend indeed!
I tried baked chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) a while back when some friends were raving about them. To be honest, I wasn't impressed. My chickpeas didn't get crispy, so it was like eating warm chickpeas. Pretty boring if you ask me. I wasn't really interested in trying them again until I saw a recipe on Authentic Suburban Gourmet, my assigned blog for last week's Secret Recipe Club reveal. Since the Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites turned out so delicious, I thought I'd give these chickpeas a try.
I'm glad I did! I don't know if it was the bacon, or the Parmesan, or the crisp chickpeas which did it for me, but whatever it was, I've been won over! These chickpeas needed to bake for a long time to get crispy (where I failed last time I made them). A few weren't so crisp, but most of them were and that made all the difference in this snack!
Besides, it has bacon in it. How can you go wrong?!
Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas
2 slices of bacon
salt
Parmesan cheese
1. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Remove any outer skins and discard.
2. Cook bacon until crisp (don't drain the grease!). Remove from pan and crumble.
3. Add the chickpeas to the pan that you cooked the bacon in stir to coat the chickpeas in the bacon drippings.
4. Spread chickpeas onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or until chickpeas are crisp.
5. Remove chickpeas from the oven and top with crumbled bacon, salt, and Parmesan cheese.
Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
If you have leftovers, store them in a covered container in the fridge. I did find that these are best eaten the day they are made.

I just love the roasted Chickpeas and this looks like a very flavorful recipe. I have a problem with mine not being crispy enough, any idea's? I will try your recipe soon so if you have an idea for super crispy, I would sure appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!

I've roasted chickpeas before, but I've never tried bacon with it. Might have to try this next weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love chickpeas in any form and have made spicy baked chickpeas for a snack before but I love your addition of bacon. Sounds like a winner to me! Will have to make these real soon. Thanks for sharing on Mix It Up Monday.
