This can be used as a snack on their own or add a handful to your salad to give extra texture. It is also vegan!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 tin chickpeas rinsed and drained
- Oil for spraying
- ½ tsp dried mixed herbs
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- sea salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 180 degrees
- Pat dry the chickpeas with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Add your drained chickpeas to the air fryer basket. Make sure they are spread out across the bottom.
- Close the air fryer basket, and set the temperature to 180 degrees. Set timer for 17 minutes. After 5 minutes, open the air fryer basket. Your chickpeas should be dry and ready to be sprayed with oil.
- I like to spray my chickpeas with oil at this stage because they are dried and ready to be roasted. I fill my spray bottle with oil and use it for all my air fryer cooking.
- After you spray the chickpeas with oil, close the air fryer basket and continue the cooking cycle, shaking them around every 5 minutes.
- When there are about 2 minutes left on your timer, add half of the mixed seasonings ( dried mixed herbs, garlic powder salt and pepper). This allows the chickpeas to roast without having the seasonings burn or fall off.
- Continue to cook for the last 2 minutes, and then take the chickpeas out. If you need them a little crispier, then put them in for a few minutes more.
- Once your chickpeas have finished cooking, place them in a large bowl and pour the remainder of the seasoning on them. Stir to coat the seasoning on all of the chickpeas. Allow them to cool and enjoy.
