Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set your Air Fryer to 390 ° F. 
  • Place the rinsed chickpeas in the basket and fry for 15 minutes until dry. Shake basket once at the midway mark. 
  • While they are cooking you can prepare the seasoning. In a medium bowl, add the oil, lemon and all seasonings. Whisk to combine well.
  • Carefully add the fried chickpeas to the bowl of seasonings. Stir to combine well. 
  • Place the seasoned chickpeas back in your air fryer basket and set to 360 ° F.  Now fry for 2-3 minutes until desired crispiness is reached. Shake basket once at the midway mark. *Watch carefully at this point to prevent burning. 
  • Taste for seasoning and add if needed. Enjoy right away or store in airtight container for 3-5 days. Let completely cool before storing. 

Notes

* If your air fryer is small, you may need to work in batches to ensure even crisping. 
Oven Method:
- Preheat your oven to 375 ° F
- Place drained chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. 
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until dry throughout. Move beans around every 10 minutes or so. 
- While they are roasting, you can prepare the seasoning. In a medium/large bowl, add the oil, lemon and all seasonings. Whisk to combine well. Set aside. 
- Add dried chickpeas to the prepared bowl of seasonings. Stir to combine well. 
- Place back on baking sheet and cook for another 15-20 minutes until desired consistency is reached.
* For super crispy chickpeas, turn off oven and leave the door slightly ajar. Let them sit for 30-60 minutes more. Store in airtight container.
