They can be eaten just as they are as a snack, put on top of salads, or in the middle of a hummus platter. Any way you decide to use them, they bring such a great crunchy and spicy element to any meal.

Before you combine the chickpeas with the sriracha, dry them off really well. This will make it easier for the olive oil to adhere to them and make them even crispier in the oven.
