Are roasted chickpeas healthy?

Roasted chickpeas are a healthy snack with protein, fiber, and other important nutrients.

How long do roasted chickpeas last?

Roasted chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.

Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned ones?

Yes! Simply soak the chickpeas overnight and cook them in boiling water for 45-60 minutes before roasting.

Do I have to remove the skin of the chickpeas?

Taking the skin off chickpeas is unnecessary if you want to make roasted chickpea croutons. Some people may like it better when they take the skin off for a smoother and slightly crispier texture, but in my opinion, removing the skin takes too much time and effort for a small benefit. Therefore, I'd suggest leaving the skin on because of the added fiber content.
