Description

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 onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pat the chickpeas very dry with a paper towel. This is key for crispiness!
- In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss to coat well.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
- Let them cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
- These are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two.
