Step 1
Pat chickpeas completely dry with a kitchen towel—moisture prevents crispiness.
Step 2
Toss chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Step 3
Spread in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not crowd.
Step 4
Air fry at 380°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Step 5
