Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil canola or olive oil work well, generic cooking oil
  • 14 ounces chickpeas (cooked) drained out of a can and dried well on kitchen paper
  • flavourings of choice e.g ½ teaspoon of salt, pepper, paprika, herbs, garlic or onion powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan or similar until a chickpea dropped into it starts to sizzle.
  2. Drizzle a tiny bit of oil over the chickpeas and toss with your choice of spices or leave plain.
  3. Add the chickpeas to the pan, preferably in one layer, and mostly cover them with a lid or other pan cover. If cooking in air fryer, toss with about 1 tablespoon of oil and your choice of seasonings and cook for about 15 minutes at 390F/200C. Shake 2 or 3 times during cooking.
  4. Let cook until golden and crispy, shaking the pan every now and again (about 15 minutes).
  5. Drain briefly on kitchen paper, then scatter over the flavourings (if using).
  6. Serve immediately on a salad, in a soup, on a pizza, or simply in a bowl for people to snack on.

Notes

  • If you have an air fryer, you can air fry the chickpeas instead. Simply toss with about 1 tablespoon oil and your seasonings, then air fry for about 15 minutes, tossing 2 or 3 times during cooking.
  • You can bake the chickpeas if you prefer.
  • Simply dry the chickpeas, coat them in a tablespoon or two of oil in a bowl, then spread them out on a baking tray in a single layer. Bake at 355F / 180C for about 45 minutes or until golden and crispy, shaking the tray a couple of times during baking. Toss the chickpeas in any flavourings you'd like to use as soon as they come out of the oven.
