    I also did a higher heat and left in longer. They are a favorite I think because of the salty/spicy taste - but can't imagine they'd be crispy if left more than a day. Not as crunchy as I thought but made 3x already!

    I just did this after doing some research also on allrecipes.com
    My suggestion for crunchier chickpeas is to up the temp to 450 and put them in for 40 minutes making sure to check in the last 10 minutes for burning. I would also suggest doubling the recipe.

    I tried it as well. Some of them were soft, but the majority of them turned out crunchy. Half way through baking them, I flipped them and that seemed to help them roast evenly which in turned helped them to be more crunchy I guess.

    I tried this recipe and my chickpeas never really got too crunchy. And I kept them in longer then the recipe called for. Any thoughts?

    This was the recipe that I needed for gift giving and it was wonderful!
    Will make this often as a healthy treat for snacking. It did take a little
    longer than the 30 minutes and I turned the oven down for the end of
    the roasting.
