Air Fryer Chickpeas
PREP TIME 5 minutes | COOK TIME 15 minutes | SERVES 3
NUTRITION 196 Calories | 4 g Fat | 33 g Carbs | 10 g Protein
INGREDIENTS
● 15 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
● Extra virgin olive oil spray
● 1 teaspoon dried spices of your choice, such as Cajun seasoning, garlic salt, blackened seasoning, Montreal steak seasoning, chili powder, paprika, etc.
DIRECTIONS
1. Drain chickpeas in a colander and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Let them dry completely.
2. Transfer the chickpeas to the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry 380F about 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes until crunchy on the inside, not moist and golden brown on the outside.
3. Transfer the chickpeas to a medium bowl while still hot, spritz all over with olive oil and immediately toss with the spices. Eat at room temperature as a snack or over your favorite salad.
Tip for crunchy chickpeas: It’s important to start with dry chickpeas or they won’t get crisp and if they do, they won’t stay crisp. Dry them well on paper towels, then if time permits leave them out an hour to dry before cooking.
Storage: Store chickpeas in a jar at room temperature up to a week. If leftover chickpeas get soft you can pop them back in the air fryer 2 to 3 minutes to crisp them back up.
