How long do you air fry chickpeas for?

At 350F, chickpeas should take about 15-18 minutes to roast. If they're not crispy, just air fry them for another few minutes.

How do you store crispy chickpeas?

These chickpeas are best enjoyed just out of the air fryer and cooled. If you're making them in advance or have leftovers, you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container.

How long will crispy chickpeas last?

I like to enjoy these air fryer chickpeas right away, or within a few hours of them being air fried. They will start to loose some of their crispiness the longer they are stored. I suggest using them within a day or two.

Do you need to remove the skins from the chickpeas?

As mentioned above, this is optional. I usually end up removing some of the skins in the process of drying the chickpeas. And discarding any loose skins helps minimize little burnt pieces in your chickpeas. Just note that removing the skins will add another 5 minutes or so to your prep time.

What seasonings can you use for air fryer chickpeas?

These crispy chickpeas are seasoned with garlic powder and kosher salt, but you can use different herbs and spices, such as smoked paprika, oregano, chili lime seasoning, everything bagel seasoning or even cinnamon for a sweeter recipe.

Instructions

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and gently pat them dry using a paper towel or clean dish towel. (See note below if you’d like to remove the skins).
In a medium-sized bowl, add the chickpeas, oil, salt and garlic powder. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are well coated.
Add the chickpeas to the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry on 350F for 15-18 minutes, stirring or tossing after 8-9 minutes. The chickpeas are ready when they’re browned and crispy. If they’re still soft in the middle, air fry them for another few minutes.

Notes

If you want to remove the skins, gently rub the chickpeas between two dish towels until the skins loosen. Pick out the skins and discard them.
I use a Cuisinart air fryer/convection/toaster oven. Depending on the make and model of your air fryer, you may need to adjust the cook time or temperature slightly.
The recipe calls for no salt added chickpeas. If you use chickpeas with added salt, you may wish to reduce the amount of salt you use in this recipe.
I use extra virgin olive oil for air frying, but you can use other types of oil such as avocado or canola.
These crispy chickpeas are best enjoyed right away, or within a few hours. If you’re making them in advance or have some leftover, just note that the chickpeas will loose some of their crispiness the longer they are stored.
