Servings:

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 best fresh.

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
