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.

How To Store Air Fryer Roasted Chickpeas

The truth is that these roasted chickpeas will not last crispy for long. The best way to keep them crispy is to place them into an open container or jar. The other thing I have found is that chickpeas will stay crispier longer if you place them in a brown bag.

But they will not last crispy for longer than 1 day. So, it would be best to make these on the same day as you want to eat them for the best results.

Tips & tricks for making the best-roasted chickpeas!

• If you want them really crispy, eat them on the same day that you make them.
• Drying them out really will help them get the best crispness for the chickpeas. I usually lay them on paper towels or a kitchen towel for about 10 to 15 minutes, which I find helps dry them out and provides a great start to perfectly crisping up your chickpeas.
• Shake your basket several times during the cooking process for best results.
• For even more flavor, add some seasonings after your roast the chickpeas.
