Four plates with different chickpea dishes
Alex Lau

Crispy, salty, creamy, and full of protein (really!), these chickpeas should be a staple in your kitchen.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 3 cups

Ingredients

2 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed, patted dry
4 garlic cloves, crushed
⅓ cup olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2½ cups chopped mixed tender herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, chives, and/or basil)

Preparation

  1. Place chickpeas in a large skillet or Dutch oven and add garlic and oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are crisped and some have split open (these will be the most delicious ones), 10–15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs.
