I should do a whole series on the best recipes with bacon. Bacon onion dip, maple bacon cookies, bacon honey lime sriracha wings, and now bacon roasted chickpeas?!
Of course!
This really is one of the best recipes with bacon that I’ve ever made. Truthfully and technically, it’s not made with bacon, though. But it is made with bacon grease. Yes, you read that correctly.
Bacon grease! The Holy Grail of fat.
You can use the cooked bacon in something else delicious. Maybe a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich (that has Mexican street corn on it!), or add it to a chicken bacon ranch casserole.
The recipe below makes enough to last me for a few days. Feel free to double it if you think you’ll need more ???? I bet you will!
Oh, and make sure to store them in an airtight container, especially if your house is very humid. Otherwise, they will lose their crunch. Soggy chickpeas do not make a good snack.
