Craving a healthy, satisfying snack that's ready in minutes? Look no further than air fryer chickpeas! This simple recipe transforms humble canned chickpeas into crispy, addictive bites that are perfect for snacking, topping salads, or adding to grain bowls.
Here's the secret: drain and rinse your chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them completely dry. Toss them with your favorite seasonings – think olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or even a pinch of chili flakes for a kick. Then, air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they're golden brown and wonderfully crispy.
Experiment with different flavor combinations! Try cumin and coriander for a Moroccan twist, or nutritional yeast for a cheesy, vegan delight. Air fryer chickpeas are not only delicious but also packed with protein and fiber, making them a guilt-free snack you can enjoy any time. So, ditch the processed chips and embrace the crispy chickpea revolution!
