Accepted Answer

Store leftover Roasted Chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To re-crisp them, place them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.

Question 8

Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use dried chickpeas instead of canned, but you will need to soak and cook them before roasting. To soak dried chickpeas, cover them with water and let them sit overnight. Then, cook them in a pot of boiling water for 1-2 hours, or until tender. Once cooked, follow the same preparation and roasting instructions as canned chickpeas.

Question 9

When does Roasted Chickpeas expire?

Accepted Answer

Roasted chickpeas can usually stay good for up to 1 week in the pantry if stored properly. Consuming them within a few days is best as they begin to lose their crunch after the first day. If they are homemade, I would suggest eating them within 2-3 days for quality. If you decide to freeze your chickpeas they can last up to 3 months in the freezer.

Question 10

How do you tell if Roasted Chickpeas is bad?

Accepted Answer

Roasted chickpeas are quite telling when they have begun to turn. The structure of the chickpeas will begin to soften excessively and they'll lose their crunch. In addition, you might notice a strange or off-putting smell. If you observe mold, discoloration or if chickpeas taste sour, it’s time to toss them.

Question 11

Tips for storing Roasted Chickpeas to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Keep cooling chickpeas uncovered on a plate or sheet pan before storing them to maintain their crunch.

• Store roasted chickpeas in an air-tight container or sealed zip-top bag to prevent them from getting stale.

• To retain their crispy texture, avoid storing them in the fridge which causes them to soften.

• For longer storage, freeze the chickpeas spreading them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container.

• When defrosting, try baking them in an oven or toaster oven at a lower temperature to restore crunch.
