Air-Fryer Chickpeas
These Air-Fryer Chickpeas are prepared by drying canned chickpeas, then tossing them with olive oil and your choice of seasoning such as smoked paprika, chili powder, or garlic powder. Air frying at 400°F crisps the chickpeas evenly and creates a crunchy snack or salad topping. The recipe allows seasoning adjustments and optional salt addition for a fully customized flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 chickpeas 15-ounce can
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1/2 tablespoon your choice of seasoning e.g., smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder
- salt to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Drain the chickpeas and rinse thoroughly. Pat the chickpeas dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
- Toss the dried chickpeas with 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a mixing bowl.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF. If your model lacks a preheat setting, simply let it run for 3 minutes at the same temperature to warm up.
- Place the chickpeas in the air-fryer basket, spreading them out in a single layer.
- Air fry the chickpeas for 5 minutes, then shake the basket. Continue air frying for another 5 minutes and shake again. Add another 2-3 minutes if your chickpeas are not crispy enough.
- Once done, transfer the chickpeas back to the mixing bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle your seasoning blend over the chickpeas (I also sometimes add salt!). Toss to coat evenly.
- Serve warm as a snack or a salad topping.
