Step 1
Drain chickpeas in a colander, rinse under cold water, then pat completely dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Combine paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3
Toss dried chickpeas with olive oil and spice mix in a bowl until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket; avoid crowding.
Step 5
Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until deeply golden and crispy.
Step 6
Pour onto a plate and let cool 2 minutes before serving; they'll crisp more as they cool.
