How to Roast Chickpeas in the Air Fryer

Start with dry chickpeas: It’s important to start with dry chickpeas or they won’t get crisp and if they do, they won’t stay crisp. So, first things first – rinse and drain the chickpeas and let dry on paper towels, I usually just leave them out an hour while I do other things.

Air Fry: Air fry the chickpeas for 12 to 14 minutes at 380 degrees, shaking the basket every five minutes. When they are crunchy and golden brown, they’re ready.

Season After: Pour the chickpeas into a bowl, spritz with olive oil, and season with spices while they are still hot. Seasoning them before you air fry can result in burnt spices.

Crispy Chickpea Tips:

To ensure your chickpeas get crispy, here are a couple of tips:

Start with dry chickpeas: Make sure the canned chickpeas are air dried on paper towels before you cook them for best results. Chickpeas that are wet or damp won’t crisp up, and if they do, they won’t stay that way into the next day. Spread the chickpeas out on dry paper towels. Place another towel on top of them, and move the towel across the chickpeas.

Air Dry: I usually let them sit on my counter after at least an hour if I have the time.

Re-crisp: If leftover chickpeas get soft you can pop them back in the air fryer 2 to 3 minutes to crisp them back up.
