Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Start by draining and rinsing your canned chickpeas under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the dried chickpeas along with the ingredients for your chosen variation. Toss well to ensure even coating.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spread the chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  4. Once golden brown and crispy, remove the chickpeas and let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Notes

  • For maximum crispiness, dry the chickpeas thoroughly.
  • Experiment with spices like cumin or curry powder for unique flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket for better crunch.
