2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Old Bay or other seafood seasoning
Lay the chickpeas out on a towel. Place another towel on top and roll the chickpeas around to ensure they’re thoroughly dried. The more moisture you can remove now, the less that has to come out in the oven.
Place the chickpeas, bacon and bay leaves on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast at 375º for 60-70 minutes, until the chickpeas are nice and crunchy. Toss with Old Bay to taste.
