Instructions

Drain your chickpeas over a bowl, so you can reserve a tablespoon of the aquafaba, and do NOT rinse them.
Place the drained (but not rinsed) chickpeas in your fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes, mixing at the halfway point.
Meanwhile, combine the tablespoon of aquafaba (and lime juice for the chili lime option) with HALF of your seasonings for your flavour of choice. Then open the fryer (once cooked for 10 mins) and evenly pour the mixture over the chickpeas and mix well to evenly coat. Continue air frying for another 5-7 minutes, until desired crispiness is reached. Make sure to mix them every few minutes, to prevent burning.
Immediately transfer your air fried chickpeas to a bowl and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning while they're still hot. Mix well and enjoy.

Notes

Do not rinse the chickpeas. Rinsing them makes the skins come loose and then they burn if you don't remove them all, which is tedious and completely unnecessary.
Use no salt added chickpeas since we're not rinsing them, to control the sodium level.
No need to dry the chickpeas. Your fryer will dry them for you, making this recipe easier than ever!
Mix your chickpeas every few minutes once seasoned, to prevent burning.
Store leftovers in a paper bag at room temperature. Do not refrigerate or place in a sealed container or they will get moist and lose their crispiness.
The nutritional information is for one third of a batch, but does not include the seasoning.
Edited June 2021 to add two additional flavours, Italian + ranch.
