Description
Learn how to make perfectly crispy chickpeas in your air fryer. This healthy snack is easy, quick, and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a paper towel. This is crucial for crispiness.
- In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Ensure chickpeas are very dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness.
- These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They may lose some crispiness upon storage.
