Ingredients
- 425 grams Canned Chickpeas
- 60 ml Olive Oil
- 30 ml Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic Cloves
- 15 ml Lemon Juice
- 15 grams Fresh Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cumin

Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Set them aside to let any excess water drip off.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and red chili flakes to make the marinade.
Finely chop the parsley and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the marinade and stir well to combine.
Add the drained chickpeas to the marinade and gently toss until they are all well coated with the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Allow the chickpeas to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Before serving, let the chickpeas come to room temperature. Toss again to ensure even distribution of the marinade.
Serve the keto marinated chickpeas as a side dish or a healthy snack.
