Instructions
 

Crispy Chickpeas

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • After rinsing the chickpeas, pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them crisp up.
  • In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add any additional seasonings if desired.
  • Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re not crowded. Bake for 30-35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. They’re ready when golden brown and crispy.
  • Let the chickpeas cool for a few minutes (they’ll crisp up more as they cool). Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Chicken

  • Preheat oven 375°F (190°C)
  • Pound chicken breasts so they are tenderized and under an inch thick.
  • Mix spices together and rub on both sides of the chicken and top with oil.
  • Place chicken on a lined cookie sheet. Bake for 21-23 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Once done let rest for 5 minutes.

Caesar Dressing

  • blend all ingredients together until emulsified.
  • Refrigerate up to 5 days. Notes: The dressing can be used right away, but note, after 24 hours of sitting in the fridge the dressing will thicken.
