Notes
- Don't add the chickpeas until you're ready to serve so they keep their crunch.
- Chickpeas can be roasted up to a day ahead of time, but they don't stay crispy for very long. Keep at room temperature in an airtight container.
- Allow roasted chickpeas to cool completely on the pan before storing them in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
