Crispy chickpeas are the perfect protein-packed and guilt-free snack. You can enjoy them on their own, or toss them with your favorite spice blend or parmesan cheese.
Drain the chickpeas by pouring them into a colander placed over a mixing bowl. Transfer the chickpeas to a paper towel-lined tray or plate. Use additional kitchen paper to lightly pat the chickpeas dry. Note: You want to dry the chickpeas as thoroughly as possible in order to make them ultra crispy.
