Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chickpeas completely dry with a paper towel — moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

  2. Step 2

    Toss chickpeas with olive oil, then coat with ranch seasoning until every piece is covered.

  3. Step 3

    Spread in air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes, shaking halfway.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, toast pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Toss hot chickpeas with lemon juice. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds and serve immediately.
