Notes
Tip: For an extra crunch, roast the chickpeas a bit longer, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
To ensure your chickpeas are extra crispy, make sure they are thoroughly dried before roasting. If you want to adjust the heat level, feel free to decrease the Sriracha or substitute it with a milder sauce.
For added flavor, consider mixing in some garlic powder or smoked paprika with the chickpeas. Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, but they are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven!
