  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Method

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Place the seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Once crispy and golden, let them cool slightly before serving.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Try different seasonings like curry powder or nutritional yeast for added flavor variations.
