Notes
- Storage: Let roasted chickpeas cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best texture, store them loosely covered. Avoid storing them in the fridge, as this can cause them to become chewy or soggy.
- Reheating: If roasted chickpeas soften over time, reheat in the oven at 375ºF for 5–10 minutes to crisp them back up.
