## Equipment

- mixing bowls
- oven tray
- parchment paper
- tea towel or kitchen paper

## Tips

- If using an oven without a fan, preheat to 220 degrees Celsius.
- The liquid drained from canned chickpeas is called aquafaba and is useful for vegan meringues.
- If you do not dry the chickpeas well, they will steam rather than crisp and will require longer baking time.
- Rubbing the chickpeas vigorously with a cloth helps break the skins, creating flaky bits that crisp well.
- Serve as a snack or top salads and soups for crunch.
