Ridiculously Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas (In 15 Minutes)
Description
The process begins by thoroughly draining and drying chickpeas, which is key for achieving crispness during air frying. Coating them in olive oil and salt ensures even roasting and seasoning adherence. Cooking at 390°F for 8 to 12 minutes with occasional shaking helps brown the chickpeas evenly and renders a crispy texture.
Once hot from the air fryer, chickpeas are tossed with chosen seasonings, allowing the heat to help flavors adhere to the surface. This method creates a snack or garnish with a satisfying crunch and seasoned coating.
These crispy chickpeas can be eaten alone or used as toppings on salads, soups, bowls, and wraps, adding both texture and protein. They store well in loosely sealed containers at room temperature for up to a week.
Ingredients
- 1 oz can chickpeas 425g
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 to 2 Tbsps SEASONING see notes
Instructions
- Drain: Drain and rinse chickpeas.
- Dry: Spread chickpeas onto a few layers of paper towels and pat dry (you do not need to remove the skins).
- Stir: Stir chickpeas together with oil and salt.
- Cook: Spread chickpeas in a single layer in your air fryer basket or rack. Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 8 to 12 minutes, or until crispy and lightly browned. Jostle the pan a few times during cooking to help evenly cook the chickpeas.
- Flavor: While chickpeas are still hot from the air fryer, toss them with your desired seasoning, stirring well until seasoning fully coats each chickpea.
- Enjoy as a healthy snack or as a high-protein topper on salads, soups, bowls, or in wraps!
Notes

- Store roasted chickpeas in a paper bag or loosely sealed bag with a paper towel to maintain crispness at room temperature for up to seven days.
