Step 1
Pat chickpeas completely dry with a clean kitchen towel — moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
Step 2
Toss chickpeas with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.
Step 3
Spread on the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Step 4
Pour into a bowl and immediately toss with chili crisp and lime juice while still hot.
Step 5
Serve warm as a snack or scatter over salads, grain bowls, or soups.
