Frequently asked

Why are mine chewy instead of crisp?+

They were wet going in, or they were stored airtight while still warm \u2014 both routes lead to steaming.

Do I have to remove the skins?+

Only the loose ones that come off easily; they burn faster than the chickpeas.

Best spice blends?+

Smoked paprika and lime zest, curry powder, or everything-bagel seasoning all work.
