Once the chickpeas are crisp and darkened, remove the cookie sheet from the oven, turn the oven off and add any add-ins to the chickpeas while they are still hot. Return them (on the cookie sheet) to the oven with the heat off, and leave them in the oven as it cools down for at least 30 minutes.
Once they are cool, enjoy the chickpeas or store them in an airtight container.
