Servings: 2
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 15 ounce can chickpeas rinsed and well-drained
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
Spices:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne powder optional
Cups - Metric
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 390 F.
- Use paper towels to pat dry the chickpeas.
- Toss chickpeas with oil and spices until evenly coated.
- Transfer chickpeas to the air fryer basket. Cook for 12–14 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times during cooking. The chickpeas are done when they are crispy. Depending on your Air Fryer, this might take longer.
- Take them out and adjust seasoning. They taste the best fresh.
Notes
- Use canned chickpeas and rinse them well in a colander
- If you're using a 19 oz can of chickpeas, add 1 tsp more oil
- Patting the chickpeas with paper towels makes them crisp up more and helps the seasoning and oil to stick better
- Use my favorite spice mixture or try one of my other seasoning suggestions (see above)
- You can always adjust the amount of seasoning you use
- Make sure the chickpeas are evenly coated with oil, this prevents the spices from burning during the cooking process
- It's normal if you hear a popping sound during cooking
- Keep in mind that every Air Fryer cooks a bit differently, some are faster, some run hotter. Keep an eye on the chickpeas and take them out sooner or add a minute or two depending on how crispy you want them
