Notes

  • Drying the chickpeas thoroughly is essential for maximum crispiness.
  • Add cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy version.
  • For a sweet variation, toss with cinnamon and maple syrup after roasting.
  • Try ranch seasoning, curry powder, or everything bagel seasoning for different flavors.
  • Store in a loosely covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • If the chickpeas soften, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore crunch.
  • Air fry at 390°F for 15 to 20 minutes for a quicker method.
