Tips for roasting crispy chickpeas:
- Use canned chickpeas! Soaking and cooking the chickpeas yourself tends to hydrate the chickpeas a little too much, so using the canned variety is best.
- Rinse and dry them very well! Rinse the chickpeas under cold water and dry them between two kitchen towels, rubbing them gently to loosen the husks.
- Definitely remove the husks! The key to crispy chickpeas is as little water and steam as possible. Leaving the husks on creates steam between the husks and the chickpeas and prevents them from crisping up.
- Use only a little bit of oil! – Using a good quality olive oil, and only a little bit of it, will create deliciously crispy chickpeas.
- Add dry spices for flavour! – The flavour possibilities are endless, but be careful not to flavour your chickpeas with anything that contains liquid. Stick with dry spices.
- Don’t under-roast! – If the chickpeas are still slightly soft that means they’re not done yet. Stick them back in the oven and let them darken slightly.
