Notes

  • Make ahead: The chickpeas and Parmesan bites can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
  • Customize seasoning: Adjust the spice level of the chickpeas and chips by adding cayenne or using different herbs.
  • Dairy-free option: Substitute Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without dairy.
  • Extra crunch: For ultra-crispy chickpeas, let them cool in the oven after baking with the door slightly open.
