CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Drain the chickpeas in a colander and rinse well. Dry the chickpeas with a few whirls in a salad spinner. Remove the chickpeas from the salad spinner onto a paper towel-lined half-sheet pan. Top with another layer of paper towels and roll, pat to dry further.
• Remove the paper towels from the sheet pan and toss the chickpeas with the olive oil and salt. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Turn off the oven and leave the chickpeas to dry and become crispy, approximately 1 hour.
• Toss the still-warm chickpeas with the sumac and cayenne pepper. Cool completely before consuming or storing.

CRISPY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.

• Bake, shaking the pan halfway through the baking time, until the chickpeas are crunchy, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool at least 1 hour; the chickpeas will become crunchier as they cool. These are best eaten within 1 day.
