Tipps

Get them dry

Dry your chickpeas thoroughly after rinsing to ensure they get crunchy. You can even leave them out for a few hours to dry, or lightly pat them dry with a clean tea towel.

Evenly spread

Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on your baking sheet. This allows for even roasting and the ideal crunch.

Spice to taste

Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. If you prefer less heat, you can cut back on the paprika.

Adjust Bake Time

Monitor your chickpeas towards the end of their baking time to ensure they aren’t burning. Different ovens might require slightly different baking times.

Storage

Store leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature. They will remain crispy for several days.
