  • The key to perfectly crispy chickpeas is ensuring they are completely dry before roasting and giving them plenty of space on the baking sheet. Crowding leads to steaming instead of crisping.
  • For maximum flavor absorption let the assembled bowls sit for 5 minutes before serving allowing the warm components to slightly wilt the greens and the dressing to penetrate throughout the dish.
