Ingredients

Servings

Basic Recipe

  • 1 oz chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste

BBQ

  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper optional

Chili Lime

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • lime about 2 teaspoons, juice from 1 medium
  • lime about 1 teaspoon, zest from 1

Ranch

  • 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon dill
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chives
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Honey

  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Drain, rinse and pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel.
  2. Add chickpeas to a large mixing bowl with oil and salt and toss to combine. Move on to Step 3 if you’re making the basic sea salt version. For any of the other versions, add the additional seasonings and toss to combine, then move on to Step 3.
  3. Preheat air fryer if required. Place chickpeas in air fryer basket in a single layer and cook on 400°F for 12-14 minutes, tossing once halfway until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the chickpeas towards the end to make sure your seasonings don’t burn!
  4. Once chickpeas are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and season to taste. Serve immediately or let cool completely and store in a bowl, not covered.

Notes

  • Storage: Let the chickpeas cool completely, then store them in an uncovered container at room temperature for up to a week. Avoid storing in the fridge to prevent them from becoming soft.
  • Substitutions: Swap out the honey for maple syrup or agave syrup for a sweet vegan version. Just make sure to coat the chickpeas after air frying to keep them crispy!
