Place chickpeas on a paper towel–lined rimmed baking sheet and let drain (dryness now equals crispiness later).
Remove paper towels and toss chickpeas on baking sheet with 1 Tbsp. oil; season with 1/2 tsp. salt.
Roast chickpeas, tossing halfway through, until crisp and golden brown, 35–40 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss orange zest, pumpkin seeds, rosemary, maple syrup, cayenne, remaining 2 Tbsp. oil, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
Remove chickpeas from oven and add pumpkin seed mixture; toss to coat.
Roast until orange zest is shriveled and pumpkin seeds are pale green, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and toss in coconut flakes; let cool.
