Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas in a colander under cold running water. Allow them to drain completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the drained chickpeas to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the marinated chickpeas for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for up to 8 hours.
Before serving, stir the chickpeas to redistribute the marinade. Serve cold or at room temperature as a snack, salad topper, or side dish.
