One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Spread chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil and all spices until evenly coated.
- Place chickpeas in a single layer in air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
- Air fry for 10 minutes, then shake basket and stir chickpeas for even cooking.
- Continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
A little kitchen know-how
Pat chickpeas very dry before air frying to get maximum crispness; shake basket halfway through cooking for even crisping.
Storage & leftovers
Store cooled chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to preserve crispness; re-crisp in air fryer for 2 minutes.
