07 - Remove the hot chickpeas from the oven. Immediately transfer them to a bowl and toss them with the prepared pickle dust seasoning until uniformly coated.
08 - Allow the seasoned chickpeas to cool completely to enhance their crispiness before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in under an hour using simple pantry ingredients
  • Perfect protein rich alternative to processed snacks
  • Customizable spice levels for any palate
  • Naturally vegan and gluten free for everyone to enjoy
02 -
  • High in protein and fiber making them nutritionally superior to most packaged snacks
  • Contains no artificial ingredients or preservatives
  • Perfect for meal prep as they store well for several days
03 -
  • Always start with completely dry chickpeas for maximum crunch. Any moisture will create steam during roasting, resulting in a less crispy final product.
  • The chickpeas will continue to crisp up as they cool, so don't worry if they seem slightly soft when first removed from the oven.
  • If you cannot find apple cider vinegar powder, try using a small spritz of actual vinegar on the hot chickpeas before applying the seasoning mix. Just be very sparing to avoid sogginess.
