Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can reduced sodium chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 2 ½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoons seasoning salt such as Lawry’s, or seasoning of choice*

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spread the chickpeas on a double layer of paper towels. Place a second layer of towels on top and rub, drying them as much as you can and removing any skins that come obviously loose. Let air dry for 10 minutes or up to 1 hour (the dryer, the better!).
  2. Transfer the dried chickpeas to a medium bowl. Top with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil. Toss to coat. Keep the bowl handy.
  3. Place the chickpeas in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 11 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, check them for doneness—you want the chickpeas to be golden and crunchy outside, but still be a tiny bit soft inside.
  4. Transfer the air fried chickpeas back to the bowl you used previously. Drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and top with seasoning. Toss to coat (the oil will help the spices adhere to the chickpeas). Let cool, then enjoy as a snack, or add to salads, soups, and more!

Notes

  • *For a homemade spice blend (my go-to for Roasted Chickpeas), combine 1 1/4 teaspoons smoked paprika, 3/4 teaspoons ground chili powder, 3/4 teaspoons ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Other ideas: Cajun seasoning, Everything Bagel Seasoning, Ranch seasoning...you name it
  • TO STORE: I find chickpeas stay crispiest at room temperature. Place them in a bowl, then lay a paper towel on top to cover, or store them in an airtight container. Do not put in a ziptop bag (this makes them soggy). Store for up to 1 week.
