Ingredients

Chickpeas
2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp olive oil
Seasoning
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse chickpeas. Pat completely dry with paper towels — roll them around to remove skins that slip off.

  2. 2

    Toss with olive oil only (add seasonings after cooking).

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400°F for 13-15 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, until golden and crunchy.

  4. 4

    Toss hot chickpeas with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne immediately.

  5. 5

    Eat within a few hours for best crunch. They soften as they sit.

💡

Tip: Season AFTER cooking, not before — wet seasonings prevent crisping. The drier the chickpeas before cooking, the crunchier they'll be. Remove any loose skins.
