Print Recipe

These crispy air fryer chickpeas are just what you expect from that title - light, airy, and crispy. They’re packed with protein and fiber for a perfect healthy snack or salad topper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), 15 oz.
  • 3 tablespoons oil, such as olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning of choice (see Notes)
  • Ground black pepper, (optional) to taste

Instructions

  1. Empty the can of chickpeas into a colander and rinse with water. Drain well. Blot dry with paper towels and remove any loose chickpea skins
  2. Put the dried chickpeas in a small bowl and add your chosen spices along with 1 tablespoon oil.
  3. Cook in air fryer at 400℉ for 10 minutes to drive off the moisture from the chickpeas. 
  4. Remove the air fryer basket, toss with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and heat for 10 minutes (or more) until they are really crispy.

Notes

Melted coconut oil can be used in place of the other oils mentioned.
