When the afternoon munchies hit, these chickpea crisps are sure to hit the spot.

Ingredients

1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
2 ounces finely grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°.
Spread the chickpeas out on a kitchen towel; thoroughly pat dry. Transfer to a 15x10x1-in. baking sheet. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat; spread into an even layer. Bake 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Use a spatula to push the chickpeas into a rectangular shape in the center of the baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until the Parmesan is melted and lightly golden on the edges. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to gently release the crisp from the baking sheet and break into bite-size pieces.
