Servings: 4

Ingredients

Canned chickpeas
2 cans (15 oz each), drained and rinsed
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Smoked paprika
1 teaspoon
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon
Ground cumin
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crisping. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to avoid overcooking.
  5. Once crispy and golden brown, remove the chickpeas from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Enjoy these crispy chickpeas as a healthy snack on their own, or toss them on top of your favorite salads, soups, or grain bowls for added texture.
