Air Fryer Chickpeas (& Oven-Roasted)

Step 1

Drain and pat dry cooked chickpeas. In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with either Mediterranean or Indian spice blend, if desired.

Step 2

Toss with olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in the fryer basket or tray in a single layer. Cook at 390°F for 10-12 minutes, until crispy and lightly golden brown.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread them evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, shaking and stirring every 10 minutes.

Step 4

Take out of the oven, sprinkle the seasoning of your choice. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir to coat the chickpeas in the seasoning. Bake another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Take the baking sheet out of the oven. Check for doneness. Chickpeas should be crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. If you like them crispier, put them back in for another 5 minutes. Oven temperatures may vary, so check regularly when making this recipe for the first time.
