These Baked Crispy Chickpea Snack Sticks are an easy-to-make, delicious and savory snack – and they are also great served alongside a bowl of soup or a salad or even as a tea time snack! Very easy to make and they keep well in an airtight container. Store them when cooled in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Be sure that they’re dry once baked. Undercooked crackers will become stale very quickly and cause the others in the jar to do the same.
