For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting. Toast the pistachios lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the beans to enhance their nutty flavor. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices, such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or rosemary, to create your own unique flavor profile. Store leftover roasted garbanzo beans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
