Notes
Storage: Make sure the chickpeas have cooled completely before storing. Hot chickpeas release moisture which can make them lose their crispiness. Transfer the to an airtight container. This prevents excess moisture from getting in. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate. Consume Crispy Chickpeas within 3 days for the best texture.
