Soaked chickpeas, left on baking sheet overnight to dry…

I’m making roast chickpeas. I soaked a bag of then overnight and then spread them out on a baking sheet to dry on the counter before roasting but I didn’t get around to doing it yesterday. Now some of them have dark spots?
They weren’t in a single layer on the baking sheet. Grabbing a handful, feels kinda sticky but picking them up individually, they are not. They smell okay? Yesterday was temperate, not too hot/humid. Will they still taste okay roasted? Or should I toss and trek to store for another bag.

Response by poster: Thanks, roasted now and they’re great!

Maybe don't eat them all in one sitting at first. That way if your gut has a reaction, it's not to the entire batch.

Anyway, I would personally not hesitate to roast them and eat them, unless the spots are obviously fuzzy mold that has grown overnight. In that case I'd rinse them thoroughly first.
