Remove Loose Skin: Peel the loose skin off the chickpeas for extra crispiness.
Shake Halfway Through Baking: Shake the tray halfway through baking for even roasting.
Cool Chickpeas: Chickpeas become crispier as they cool, so allow them to cool down before serving.
Spread Chickpeas: Make sure to spread seasoned chickpeas in a single layer so they crisp up evenly.
