Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chickpeas completely dry with paper towels — moisture prevents crisping.

  2. Step 2

    Toss chickpeas with oil, chili crisp, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl until coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set to 375°F for 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Shake the basket halfway through. Chickpeas should be golden and crispy at edges.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a bowl. Squeeze lime juice over the top and toss gently.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot as a snack, over a grain bowl, or with crusty bread.
