AIR FRYER CHICKPEAS RECIPE

I love roasted chickpeas! They are perfect to eat by the handful or to top salads or grain bowls. Air fryer chickpeas make the process of cooking chickpeas so much faster.

Chickpeas are an economical way to get healthy fats and vegetable protein into your diet.

You need one bowl, a handful of seasonings, and your air fryer to create these little healthy airfryer snacks.

No need to turn on the oven or wash a sheet pan for this recipe!

HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CHICKPEAS

Preheat your air fryer to 400F
Drain and rinse chickpeas and pat dry with a paper towel. In a medium sized bowl, mix the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, garlic powder and rosemary. Stir together until chickpeas are evenly coated.
Place the chickpeas in the air fryer and cook as directed.
Halfway through cooking, stir the chickpeas to ensure even cooking.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH AIR FRYER CHICKPEAS

As mentioned, I love to just eat these as a snack!

Add a bowl of air fryer chickpeas to a Charcuterie Board for a crunchy element.

These crunchy chickpeas are an amazing topping for your favorite salad. Use them in place of croutons - they are gluten free and high in fiber.

WHY MAKE CHICKPEAS IN THE AIR FRYER?

If you've made chickpeas in the oven before, you may be wondering what the difference is.

Air fryer chickpeas come out way crispier on the outside than ones made in the oven. I believe this is due to the small space convection that happens in the air fryer.

Making chickpeas this way is fast! 15 minutes or less to perfectly crunchy, crispy, salty chickpeas.

CAN I USE OTHER SEASONINGS FOR CHICKPEAS?

You sure can! This recipe will work with any combination of seasonings that you like.

Try salt and smoked paprika for a BBQ flavored snack.

Some chili powder would make for some nicely spicy chickpeas.

I'd love to hear what flavors you come up with for this recipe!
