Make incredibly crispy and flavorful chickpeas using your air fryer. This recipe is perfect for a satisfying, healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and thoroughly patted dry
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Place the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket.
  4. Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy.
  5. Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. They will crisp up more as they cool.

Notes

  • Drying the chickpeas completely is the secret to getting them crispy. Use paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth.
  • Adjust seasonings to your liking. Try cumin or chili powder for a different flavor profile.
  • If you want maximum crunch, cook in smaller batches.
