Preparation: Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible is key to getting them crispy.

Season the Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Ensure they are evenly coated with the spices and oil.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). This step might vary depending on your air fryer model.

Cook the Chickpeas: Place the seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry them for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure they cook evenly. The chickpeas should be golden and crispy.

Check for Crispiness: Depending on your air fryer, you might need to adjust the cooking time. The chickpeas are done when they are crispy and golden.

Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle lemon zest over the chickpeas after cooking for an added zesty flavor. Serve them warm as a snack or use them as a topping for salads or bowls.
