    How to Roast Chickpeas in Air Fryer

    Normally when roasting chickpeas you need to rinse them and then dry them which takes time. Not anymore. These chickpeas are a GAME CHANGER.

    You don’t have to rinse them and you don’t even have to dry them. We are going to dry them right in the air fryer. So you can skip that step when making these in the air fryer.

    The first thing you want to do is get your air fryer preheated to 390 degrees and set the timer for 15 minutes. The cook time can be as little as 12 minutes and as much as 17 minutes. I find 15 minutes is what it takes in my air fryer.

    Ingredients

    • Can of Chickpeas Drained
    • Olive Oil
    • Salt
    • Garlic Powder
    • Cumin
    • Smoked Paprika
    • Any Seasoning that you prefer to use to season chickpeas

    Full Instructions in Recipe Card Below.

    Step 1

    Grab you can of chickpeas and let us get started making this chickpeas recipe. I used organic chickpeas that I got at Trader Joes. You can use any brand you like. All you have to do is open them and drain them.

    Step 2

    Dump your can of chickpeas right into the air fryer. See isn’t this recipe easy so far? Once you have the chickpeas in the air fryer shake them around to get them mostly in a single layer.

    Step 3

    Now that your chickpeas are in your preheated air fryer close the basket. Air fry chickpeas for 5 minutes till the chickpeas are dry. After 5 minutes open the air fryer and spray the chickpeas with the oil sprayer. If you don’t have one pour the teaspoon of oil over the chickpeas and shake the basket around to distribute the chickpeas getting coated.

    Step 4

    Close the air fryer and let it keep cooking shaking the basket every 5 minutes or so until there is 2 minutes left. Open the air fryer basket and sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture over the chickpeas and shake the basket to distribute. Cook the final 2 minutes then serve. Top the chickpeas with the remaining seasoning.

    It is EASY:

    Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas
    Toss with olive oil and seasoning
    Cook the chickpeas at 390°F for 12-18 minutes, shaking them a few times during the cooking process. Depending on the air fryer that you have you may need to add or subtract a few minutes to get the chickpeas crispy enough for your liking.

    How to Make Oven Roasted Chickpeas

    If you would rather make roasted chickpeas in the oven I have am also including that cooking method. Even if you do not have an air fryer you can enjoy these.

    These chickpeas are just as delicious roasted in your oven. The one tip that I can give is to make sure to completely dry the chickpeas or they will not become crunchy.

    Oven Roasted Chickpeas Instructions

    Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees
    Rinse and Drain Chickpeas
    Make sure that your chickpeas are dry. Place on a towel to dry completely.
    Toss chickpeas in a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt.
    Place chickpeas sheet pan lined with parchment paper and spread even
    Transfer pan to oven and roast for 20 minutes until crispy
    Remove from oven and season chickpeas with the seasonings or seasoning of your choice.

    How can I use these Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

    These are great as a salad topper. They are great in tacos and even just by themselves as a healthy snack.

    Another great thing about these chickpeas in the air fryer is they are a great snack for last minute guest appearances to give people something to snack on. They are also best ehen they are first made. Just roast them and qucikly season them and they are ready for serving.

    How to Store Roasted Chickpeas

    Room temperature, out in the open: Clearly the winner. I placed the chickpeas in a bowl and laid a paper towel across the opening (just to keep random particles away. If you use shelf-stable ingredients (i.e., don’t smear them butter or something), they should last a couple of days with no problems at all.

    Some Other Flavors to Try

    • Ranch Flavor Seasoning
    • Cajun Seasoning
    • Cinnamon
    • BBQ Seasoning

    Basically any flavor that you enjoy you can sprinkle on the roasted chickpeas.
