Air Fryer Chickpeas (No Oil)
Air Fryer Chickpeas seasoned with a mix of garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, and salt create a crisp, flavorful snack without oil. Cooking at 350°F crisps the chickpeas well, thanks to repeated shaking during a 15-20 minute cook. The texture is crunchy and golden, suitable for eating alone or adding to salads for extra texture and spice.
