Notes
- There is no need to let try the chickpeas to dry before tossing them in oil and spices, they will still turn out crispy.
- Removing the skins one by one sounds like a chore, but it really does help with the crispiness, so it's a step I highly recommend!
- The chickpeas stay crispy for a long time, no need to store them in a special container.
