How To Make Air Fryer Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

Here are the step-by-step directions for making Air Fryer Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas. 

Start by draining your chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinse the drained beans.

In a small mixing bowl, mix together the drained and rinsed chickpeas, olive oil, ground cinnamon, sugar, and honey. Mix well.

Air Fryer Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas Recipe Tips

• Prepping Chickpeas: Rinse and thoroughly drain canned chickpeas, then pat them dry with paper towels.
• Seasoning: Mix honey with cinnamon and a pinch of salt. For a richer flavor, you can add a bit of vanilla extract.
• Coating: Toss the chickpeas with a small amount of olive oil or coconut oil before adding the honey-cinnamon mixture. 
• Avoid Overcrowding: Spread the chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
• Checking Doneness: The chickpeas should be golden brown and crispy. If they aren’t crispy enough, continue cooking for a few more minutes, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
• Cooling: Allow the roasted chickpeas to cool completely before serving. This helps them firm up and become crunchier.
• Storage: Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay crispy for up to a week.
• Re-crisping: If the chickpeas lose their crispiness, reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crunch.

Air Fryer Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas Recipe Faqs

Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned? Yes, but you’ll need to soak and cook dried chickpeas before using them in this recipe. Ensure they’re fully cooked and well-drained.

What if I don’t have honey? You can substitute maple syrup, agave nectar, or another liquid sweetener. Adjust the quantity to taste, as sweetness levels can vary.

Can I make this recipe vegan? Yes, just use a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.

How do I get the chickpeas crispy? Make sure the chickpeas are thoroughly dried before air frying and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Toss them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.

Can I adjust the spice level? Absolutely! You can add more or less cinnamon based on your preference. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cayenne pepper for a hint of spice.

How should I store leftover roasted chickpeas? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay crispy for up to a week.

What if my chickpeas aren’t crispy after the recommended cooking time? If they’re not crispy enough, continue cooking in 2-minute increments, checking frequently to avoid burning.

Can I make a larger batch? Yes, but cook the chickpeas in batches to ensure they’re evenly roasted and crispy. Overcrowding the air fryer can lead to uneven cooking.
