- Put lid on container, shake for 30 seconds until chickpeas are coated

- Add preferred seasoning to chickpeas
- Cook an extra 2 minutes
Before I got my hands on an aifryer I’d usually either cook my chickpeas in the oven, or fried in the pan. Both of these methods take upwards of 30 minutes and use a LOT more cooking oil. The air fryer not only speeds up the method but uses a fraction of the oil.
Fried chickpeas like this make a wonderful snack or salad topping. Every time I cook them I create a different spice blend, here are my favorites:
- Generic Middle Eastern: sumac, garlic, coriander
- Indian: turmeric, garlic, chilli powder, coriander
- Smoky and spicy: smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic
