They can be stored in a container for about 4 days at room temperature.
While storing, crack the top of the container open slightly so that the air can help the chickpeas stay crisp.
Freezing - You can freeze these chickpeas. Allow them to cool completely. Place them in a freezer safe container. They will last for about a month. Thaw at room temperature.
Don't overcrowd the pan - Spread the chickpeas in a single layer with some space between them. Overcrowding leads to steaming, not roasting.
