Crunchy Parmesan Chickpeas Recipe

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Add chickpeas and fry, stirring continuously, until crisp and golden, about 16 to 18 minutes. Do this in batches, if necessary. Drain chickpeas on a paper towel-lined plate.

Combine ground pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Sprinkle mixture over chickpeas and toss to combine. Garnish with lime zest, if desired. Serve immediately.
