Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 15-ounce can Canned chickpeas
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick to create a classic fry shape.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Place the potato strips and chickpeas into a large mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Toss well to ensure all the pieces are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potatoes and chickpeas in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Use parchment paper if desired for easier cleanup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the potato strips and chickpeas using a spatula.
Return the baking sheet to the oven, baking for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, and the chickpeas are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving for an added burst of flavor and freshness.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or a protein-packed snack.
