  • If you don't bake them long enough, you'll end up with soggy chickpeas a day later. To make chickpeas that stay crispy, you've got to bake them long enough
  • Roasted chickpeas don’t stay as crispy once they cool, so I recommend eating them while they’re warm for the best crunch and taste.
  • If you need to reheat them, warm them up in the oven at 300 degrees for just a few minutes!
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature. Keep in mind the texture will change and they won’t be as crispy- but they will still be very YUMMY!
