chickpeas roasted
How can I get my home-roasted chickpeas to be as crunchy as those you purchase in the store? I've been using beans that I've soaked and cooked at home. They are reasonably crunchy right out of the oven, but soften up upon sitting. I do thoroughly dry the beans after cooking. Should I use soaked but uncooked beans?

Suspect the ones you buy in store are cooked and dried in industrial machines (similar to wasabi peas and the like), not repeatable under home conditions.
Last, do not use soaked but uncooked beans...the result will be hard but inedible.
