Absolutely Use your oven. Um, you know, some ovens, if you have a gas oven, they have a pilot light that's on the inside and I've seen people literally just put their chickpeas right in their oven and leave them there for 24 hours and they'll come up crispy, which I've never done before. I usually keep it on the lowest setting I possibly can on the oven, um, and watch it for a little bit less time and then also shake them frequently. So I think the last time I did it, um, I think the lowest setting my oven at the time would go like 200 and I basically, uh, set it to 200 and then every 15, 10 to 15 minutes would check them, shake them around a little bit to make sure they weren't sticking on the bottom, to be able to make that same thing. And they came out very wonderful, a nice crispy chickpea at the same time. So yeah, you don't need the air fryer to do everything. Air fryers are basically, you know, a convection oven, right? So if you have a convection oven, you need a better way to be able to do that.
