Roasted chickpeas, everyone loves them, but if you went to purchase them in the store, they would cost you over $5 a bag. So, today I bring you my Air Fryer Spiced Chickpea recipe, which could not be any easier. Today, I bring you my version of Air Fryer Extra Crispy Spiced Chickpeas.
The cans of chickpeas are usually on sale for 50 cents at my local grocery store. Once you roast them, season them, they become a great healthy snack.
Tips for Roasting Chickpeas in the Air Fryer, Especially if you want to get the best Air Fryer Extra Crispy Spiced Chickpeas-
- Drain the chickpeas, well. The drier the chickpeas are, before you start to air fry them, the better they come out. I drain mine, then place them on a kitchen towel for about 20 minutes, and then proceed with the recipe.
- You need enough olive oil to coat the chickpeas. If you don’t use enough oil, you will never get your chickpeas crispy or crunchy. I use my hands to mix them. Do I need more olive oil? I add it, so look at your chickpeas, are they coated in olive oil? If you are in doubt, add a tablespoon or two more.
- Add some extra seasonings. As you finish air frying your chickpeas, add some extra seasoning. I always add additional salt. I think it brings out the roasted flavor of the air fryer chickpeas.
- Eat them right after you air fry them. They taste better, and the chickpeas will not stay crispy for long.
