Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Place the seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
After 15 minutes, check the chickpeas for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy. If needed, air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the chickpeas from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Enjoy as a snack or add them to salads and bowls for extra crunch!
