Question 1

Can I use nutritional yeast or a vegan Parmesan instead of real Parmesan?

Accepted Answer

Yes—nutritional yeast or a store-bought vegan grated Parmesan will give a savory, cheesy flavor while keeping the recipe dairy-free. Add it the same way, tossing while the chickpeas are still warm so it adheres.

Question 2

Can I make these from dried chickpeas?

Accepted Answer

You can, but dried chickpeas must be soaked and cooked until tender before roasting. Cooked-from-dry chickpeas may need extra drying time and a longer roast to reach comparable crispness.

Question 3

Can I use an air fryer?

Accepted Answer

Yes—air fry at 375°F for 12–18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the chickpeas are evenly browned and crunchy. Keep an eye on them as times vary between models.
