Chef tips

💡Dry the chickpeas extremely well — this is the single most important step for crispiness
💡Season after cooking not before — seasonings burn at the temperatures needed to crisp chickpeas
💡They continue crisping as they cool — let them cool 5 minutes before judging if they're crispy enough
