Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 15 oz can)
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel to help them get as crisp as possible.
2. In a medium bowl, drizzle some olive oil over the chickpeas and season them with garlic powder, onion powder, red chili powder, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat them thoroughly.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer in the basket, working in batches if needed. Spray some oil on top if required.
4. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-14 minutes or until crispy, shaking the basket a couple of times. Mine were perfectly done in 12 minutes.
5. Take the chickpeas out, adjust the seasoning and serve them while they are still warm and crispy.

Oven Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly in a single layer. Bake at 425˚F for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, tossing occasionally.
