Ingredients

  • 1 oz can chickpeas 425g
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 to 2 Tbsps seasoning* see notes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Drain: Drain and rinse chickpeas.
  2. Dry: Spread chickpeas onto a few layers of paper towels and pat dry (you do not need to remove the skins).
  3. Stir: Stir chickpeas together with oil and salt.
  4. 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.
  5. Flavor: While chickpeas are still hot from the air fryer, toss them with your desired seasoning, stirring well until seasoning fully coats each chickpea.
  6. Enjoy as a healthy snack or as a high-protein topper on salads, soups, bowls, or in wraps!

Notes

  • Optional flavorings: Toss on before baking. Find a full list of my favorite seasonings here. A few of my favorites:
  • Dorito (pictured): 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder, ¼ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp chili powder, ¼ tsp salt
  • Ranch: ½ tsp dried dill, ½ tsp dried chives, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
  • Coconut Curry: 1 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, ½ tsp curry powder, ¼ tsp salt
  • Store these roasted chickpeas in a paper bag, or in a loosely sealed plastic bag lined with a paper towel. They keep well at room temperature for up to a week.
