Air Fryer Ranch Roasted Chickpeas Tips
-
Thorough Drying: Make sure to dry the canned chickpeas thoroughly before air frying to achieve maximum crispiness. Pat them dry with paper towels and let them air dry for a few minutes if needed.
-
Even Coating: Toss the chickpeas in olive oil and ranch seasoning mix until evenly coated. This ensures each chickpea is flavored and crisped up uniformly.
- Shake the Basket: Periodically shake the air fryer basket during cooking to ensure even roasting. This helps the chickpeas cook evenly and prevents them from sticking together.
-
Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on the size of your air fryer and the amount of chickpeas, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Start with the recommended time and check for desired crispiness.
-
Cool Before Storing: Allow the chickpeas to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This helps maintain their crispiness.
Air Fryer Ranch Roasted Chickpeas Recipe Faqs
Can I use fresh chickpeas instead of canned? Yes, you can use dried chickpeas, but they need to be soaked and cooked before air frying. Canned chickpeas are more convenient as they are already cooked.
How do I store leftover ranch roasted chickpeas? Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Can I use a different seasoning mix? Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different seasoning blends such as BBQ, garlic parmesan, or spicy cayenne for varied flavors.
How do I get the chickpeas extra crispy? Ensure the chickpeas are thoroughly dried before air frying. For extra crispiness, you can cook them a few minutes longer, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Can I make this recipe in advance? Yes, you can make the ranch roasted chickpeas ahead of time. They are best enjoyed within a few days of making them as they tend to lose their crispiness over time.
What can I do if the chickpeas are not crispy enough?
If the chickpeas aren’t as crispy as you’d like, try cooking them for a few more minutes. Ensure they are spread out evenly in the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking.
