WHAT ARE AIR FRYER CHICKPEAS
Air fryer chickpeas are a great way to make food healthier and more flavorful. They require little to no oil, so they’re a healthy alternative that you can add to your diet.
It’s also easier if you have an air fryer because it means less mess in the kitchen! The process of making these is simple: just put some olive oil on them and then mix up some spices like onions, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, or chili flakes before placing them in the air fryer for around 10 minutes. You’ll be surprised at how crispy they will get while still being soft on the inside!
There are so many flavors that you can make for roasted chickpeas, and they all start with one can of chickpeas (or garbanzo beans), making for a great and budget-friendly snack!

How To Make Air Fryer Korean BBQ Roasted Chickpeas
Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas.
Add the brown sugar, Gochugaru, ginger powder, garlic powder, onion powder, tamari sauce, and sesame seed oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix well, then toss in the drained chickpeas until well coated.
Pour the chickpeas into the air fryer basket, set the time for 15 minutes at 390 degrees F, air fryer setting. Shake the basket several times as you are air frying and roasting the chickpeas. Pour the chickpeas into a bowl, and toss with an additional 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt. (It depends on how salty you want them. Adjust to your taste buds.
Pro Tips:
- This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. I have made chickpeas several times in all of my Air Fryers, and this recipe will work in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Mealthy Lid.
- For best results, shake the basket several times during the cooking process so the chickpeas are perfectly roasted.
- Remember, the Air Fryer works by hot air circulating the food, perfectly cooking it up. Be careful not to crowd the basket. Otherwise, you will end up with a soft batch of chickpeas.
- Add some salt at the end for even more flavor! There is nothing better than some sea salt!
HOW TO STORE
Store the roasted chickpeas in an airtight glass container or an open glass jar. Unfortunately, these chickpeas will not stay crunchy for more than a few hours. I have noticed that as the chickpeas cool down, they start to lose their crispness!

I didn’t have any ranch mix on hand or the ingredients for the Korean variety. What I did have was a packet of brown gravy mix (20 calories) and coated them with that. Wow! You changed my world today!
