Notes
Baked chickpeas are best when they are fresh from the oven. They can be made ahead of time but will lose some of their crispiness as they sit.
Omit the cayenne pepper for a less-spicy snack.
Swap olive oil with avocado oil.
For the crispiest result, make sure the chickpeas are completely covered in the oil before baking, so they evenly crisp throughout.
