Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chickpeas completely dry with a kitchen towel—moisture prevents crispiness.

  2. Step 2

    Toss chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Spread in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not crowd.

  4. Step 4

    Air fry at 380°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

  5. Step 5

    Chickpeas should be golden and crunchy when done. Let cool 2 minutes before eating.
