Equipment
Ingredients
- 15 oz chickpeas
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Drain a can of chickpeas, then rinse and pat dry with paper towels. In a sifter, toss chickpeas with cornstarch until chickpeas are lightly coated and excess cornstarch has been filtered out.
- Transfer to a bowl along with olive oil, dill weed, oregano, lemon pepper, and salt. Toss until chickpeas are evenly coated.
- Place chickpeas in air fryer basket in a single layer. Roast at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes until crispy. Cool, then enjoy!
Notes
-
- Feel free to add more salt/pepper or a bit of lemon zest to taste!
- All air fryers are different, so you may need to use less/more than the recommended amount of time!
- Chickpeas may be a bit soft while they're hot, but they should crisp up once they cool off. If not, try air frying them a bit longer.
- Keep roasting them until they're completely crunchy, without any moisture or give in the center. If there's any moisture left in them, they won't stay crunchy when stored!
- These air fryer chickpeas are best enjoyed shortly after cooking, as they tend to lose their crunchiness over time.
- You can store them either in an airtight container or an open bowl at room temperature.
