Roasted chickpeas are best when they are crunchy. Here are some tips to preserve that crunchiness!
- Cover them in parchment or paper bags. (To absorb any moisture).
- Store the roasted chickpea in an airtight container. (Glass jar is better).
- Keep it at room temperature. (Never refrigerate them, it will make them chewy).
- If they have turned and are chewy, cover them with a little bit of oil and heat them up at high temperature in the oven.
- Eat them fast! (As much as you want to keep them crispy, roasted chickpeas will tend to lose crispness as time goes).
