Let Them Crisp in the Oven
Once the chickpeas are golden, turn off the oven and leave them inside for an additional 15 minutes. This helps eliminate any remaining moisture and boosts their crunch factor.

Recipe Tips & Suggestions
While warm, freshly roasted chickpeas are the most delicious, you can still enjoy them later by storing them properly. Here are some tips for keeping crunchy chickpeas:
Allow the chickpeas to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This will help prevent condensation from forming inside the container and soften the chickpeas.
Store the chickpeas in a glass container or plastic zip-top bag rather than a metal container, which can trap moisture and cause the chickpeas to soften.
Avoid storing the chickpeas in the refrigerator, as the moisture can cause them to become soft.
Chickpeas can last up to a week when stored properly, but for the crispiest texture, try to enjoy them within a day or two of roasting.
By following these storage tips, you can enjoy crunchy chickpeas for days to come!
