Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained (about 1-15 ounce can)
  • 2 teaspoon seasonings (I'm using chili lime spice.)
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Dry the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Once dry, gently roll the chickpeas on the towel to remove the skins.* Discard the skins. 
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 F.
  • Place the chickpeas into the air fryer basket. Air fryer about 7 minutes. Shake. Return for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crunchy and slightly golden.
  • Quickly transfer the hot crispy chickpeas to a medium-sized bowl. Spritz with the oil and toss in the seasonings. Enjoy right away or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

*Removing the skins is truly optional. But does help to achieve the crispiest texture. I’ve done it both ways.
Other seasoning ideas:
  • Fresh thyme, garlic, salt, orange zest
  • Garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt and pepper
  • Lemon pepper
  • Steak seasoning
Enjoy air fryer chickpeas many ways:
  • As a simple snack
  • Add to avocado toast
  • Use as a salad topper
