Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

• Canned Chickpeas (Or Cooked)
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Paprika
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder

How To Make Air Fryer Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas. Dry the beans over paper towels to ensure extra crispness.

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well, coating the beans with the seasoning.

 

Place the chickpeas in your Air Fryer basket and try to keep it to one or two layers to make sure the beans are crispy.

Depending on the size of your Air Fryer, you may need to bake in multiple batches. Set the temperature to 390F/200C and bake for 10-12 minutes. Shake the basket halfway.

*If you’ll not be serving the chickpeas right away, make sure they have completely cooled down before storing them in an airtight container. To do this, I place them in a large oven tray before storing them.

Some Pro Tips For Making Air Fryer Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

• Drying the chickpeas with paper towels helps them become crunchy after air frying.
• The important thing to know is that they need to be coated in olive oil. Otherwise, they will never crisp up.
• Add some additional spices after air frying for even more flavor.
• I usually add sea salt right after air frying up the batch.
• Shake the basket several times during the cooking process for best results.

Are roasted chickpeas bad for you?

No, chickpeas or garbanzo beans are very high in protein. They are also low in calories and contain a fair amount of fiber. Both are important if you are trying to lose weight since you will feel fuller longer.

Canned vs. Dried?

I have never made Air Fryer Chickpeas with dried chickpeas, and I thought they would need to be cooked before roasting them.

You could use this recipe, which uses the Instant Pot or another pressure cooker to cook them.

How To Store Air Fryer Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

This is a great recipe that you can store at room temperature. Please do not put them in the refrigerator; they will turn hard.

You can store them in a brown paper bag, open container, or jar. They will lose their crispness in a few days.

What To Do With Roasted Chickpeas

While I tend to eat them as they are, they are great during the summer months in salads, and you can even make a chickpea salad with them.

They act as an alternative to croutons.
