Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas drained, rinsed, dried
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or any cooking oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried chive flakes
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat them completely dry. Remove any loose skins if you have time.
- Place the chickpeas in a bowl. Add the oil. Coat the chickpeas with oil first before adding salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and dried chive flakes. Toss until evenly coated.
- Transfer the chickpeas to the air fryer basket. Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 to 5 minutes, until crispy and golden. No need to preheat the air fryer.
- Let the chickpeas cool for a few minutes before serving. They'll become crispier as they cool.
Notes
- These measurements are just a guide. Feel free to customize the herbs and spices based on what you enjoy or have on hand.
- If you only have chickpeas, oil, salt, and pepper, this recipe still works! The extra seasonings are optional, but they add more flavor.
