Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mark step 1 done

    Preheat the air fryer to 200°C.

  2. Mark step 2 done

    Drain and rinse chickpeas (1 can) thoroughly. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them become crunchy.

  3. Mark step 3 done

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil (15ml), smoked paprika (5ml), ground cumin (2.5ml), garlic powder (2.5ml), salt (2.5ml), and black pepper (1ml). Add the dried chickpeas (1 can) and toss until they are evenly coated.

  4. Mark step 4 done

    Arrange the coated chickpeas (1 can) in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and deeply golden.

  5. Mark step 5 done

    Let the chickpeas (1 can) cool in the basket for 5 minutes to crisp up further. Store completely cooled chickpeas (1 can) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not refrigerate, as they will lose their crunch.
