Spiced Air Fryer Chickpeas
Description
This recipe uses drained and well-dried canned chickpeas coated in olive oil and a blend of spices: cumin for earthiness, garlic powder for depth, smoked paprika for smokiness, cayenne for heat, and kosher salt to balance flavors. The chickpeas are spread in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cooked at 400°F until crisp, usually 14-16 minutes.
The result is a crunchy, spicy snack with a rich seasoning profile. The air fryer produces even crisping without the need for deep frying.
For best results, thoroughly pat chickpeas dry before seasoning so the oil and spices adhere well. Cooking longer can yield an even crunchier texture.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

Notes
- Dry chickpeas thoroughly before seasoning to help oil and spices stick evenly.
