Description
Deliciously crispy BBQ chickpeas, perfect as a snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons neutral oil
- 15 ounces can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1/4 cup sweet BBQ sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat a medium or large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with a thin layer of neutral oil. Once hot, add the chickpeas, BBQ sauce, and salt.
- Stir to coat the chickpeas in the sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring every few minutes, until the sauce is reduced, about 8 to 10 minutes. The sauce should be very gently bubbling. Reduce the heat if it is bubbling too rapidly or burning. For crispier stovetop BBQ chickpeas, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes over medium heat.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with the oil and salt. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Roast the chickpeas at 425F for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven. Drizzle the BBQ sauce directly onto the chickpeas, tossing with a spatula to coat.
- Return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce is concentrated and sticky. The goal is mostly crisp, slightly crunchy chickpeas. Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Note #1: You can adjust the BBQ sauce to your taste preference.
