Sure, here’s a simple recipe for making crispy chickpeas in an air fryer:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, olive oil, salt, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or black pepper. Toss well to coat the chickpeas evenly.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd them to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air fry the chickpeas at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning; cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and the size of the chickpeas.
- Once the chickpeas are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your crispy air fryer chickpeas as a snack on their own, or add them to salads, soups, or grain bowls for extra crunch and flavor.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences, and experiment with different spices or herbs for variety. Enjoy your crispy chickpeas!
