What Are Chickpeas?

Chickpeas or garbanzo beans are widely sold in United States grocery stores in two forms, dried and canned.

Chickpeas are a legume, which is high in protein, and other minerals. The protein makes it a great substitution for anyone looking to eat less or no meat.

For this recipe and all of my Air Fryer Roasted Chickpea Recipes, I have used canned chickpeas since you would have to cook them first, which would not be a great way to save time. But you can easily cook them first and then roast them.

Air Fryer Sesame Seed Roasted Chickpeas Recipe Tips

• Dry Chickpeas Thoroughly: Ensure that chickpeas are completely dry before cooking to achieve a crispy texture. Pat them dry with a paper towel after rinsing.
• Coat Evenly: Toss the chickpeas in a light coat of olive oil and ensure they are evenly coated with sesame seeds and seasonings. This helps them crisp up nicely.
• Shake the Basket: Halfway through the cooking time, shake the air fryer basket or stir the chickpeas to ensure they roast evenly and don’t stick together.
• Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the chickpeas as they cook, since air fryers can vary in their cooking times. They usually take about 12-15 minutes to become crispy.
• Season After Cooking: For the best flavor, season the chickpeas immediately after cooking while they are still hot. This allows the spices to stick better.
• Store Properly: Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispiness. They are best enjoyed within a few days.
