Notes
Here are a few tips I’ve gathered to make these chickpeas even better:
Double the recipe, because they go fast!
Check for crispness: If they're not crunchy, roast a bit longer.
Store leftovers in an airtight container. They stay crispy for a day or two.
Change up the spices to suit your taste. More heat or sweetness? Go for it!
These make a great topping for salads or a wholesome snack on their own. Pile them onto your plate and enjoy every crunchy bite! 🎉
