# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms humble vegetables into something extraordinary with almost zero effort
  • The roasted chickpeas get irresistibly crispy and add such satisfying texture
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day, if they last that long
02 -
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or you will end up with steamed vegetables instead of roasted ones
  • Stirring halfway through prevents burning and ensures every piece gets those crispy edges
  • The chickpeas should be completely dry before tossing with oil or they will not crisp up properly
03 -
  • Dry your vegetables thoroughly after washing, excess water creates steam and prevents proper roasting
  • Let the tray sit in the hot oven for an extra 2 to 3 minutes for extra crispy edges
