Instructions

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then lay them on paper towels for about 10 minutes to remove moisture. Try to get them completely dry. One trick is to put them on the baking sheet and let them sit in the oven for about 5 minutes as it preheats.Preheat oven to 425 degrees or if your oven runs hot, 400 F. 425 F is fine, but you’ll need to keep a very close eye on the peas.
