Hi! What an easy delicious recipe:) can it be made without oil, so dry-roasted chickpea in the oven? Thank you for inspiration!!

Hey! Yes you can make the crispy chickpeas oil-free and they will still turn out great! If you're not using oil, I'd recommend roasting them for closer to 40-45mins, stirring half way 🙂
