Crispy, flavorful Air Fryer Chickpeas make a quick and healthy snack or salad topper. These roasted chickpeas are customizable, protein-packed, and ready in just minutes using the air fryer.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin or chili powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them very dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
  2. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and any other desired spices.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  4. Place the chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • Dry the chickpeas thoroughly to ensure crispness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Add sweet seasonings like cinnamon and maple syrup after air frying.
  • Store in an open container to maintain crisp texture.
  • Re-crisp in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes if needed.
