Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas

These Air Fryer Chickpeas turn out SO CRISPY and are ridiculously simple to make! They’re great on salads or even enjoyed as a simple snack.

If you don’t have an air fryer or want more flavor options for these chickpeas, be sure to check out my post on how to make Oven Roasted Chickpeas with 4 different flavor options to choose from!

Have you jumped on the air fryer band wagon yet? I’m relatively new myself and have been experimenting with ALL kinds of different things that can be cooked in an air fryer.

I think that so many people think of healthier fried chicken and other fried foods when cooking in an air fryer. However, I’ve learned that there’s almost no limit when it comes to what can be cooked in an air fryer. So far we’ve tried cauliflower wings, asparagus, these chickpeas and even tofu.

I have a lot of fun air fryer recipes planned for the coming months (and maybe even a new one for next week!).

But first up: these SUPER CRISPY Air Fryer Chickpeas that I’m very obsessed with.

We’re going with a simple and versatile flavoring for this particular recipe. However, I have 4 more flavor options in THIS roasted chickpeas post if you’re looking for more ways to make them. Since those recipes were written for just ONE can of chickpeas, you’ll need to double all of the ingredients. Alternatively, you can leave them the same and only use one can of chickpeas for this air fryer recipe.

Either will work great.

But if you’re new to crispy chickpeas, I suggest starting with this simple recipe as it’s written below.

Ingredients we’re working with:

• Chickpeas– drained and rinsed + thoroughly dried with a lint free kitchen towel (or paper towels). Getting all of the excess moisture off is key to getting optimally crispy chickpeas!
• Olive oil– you just need a little bit for this recipe! Other oils work as well so use what you have on hand.
• Salt– I like to use fine sea salt but again, whatever you have on hand will work well.
• Garlic powder– because you know that I need garlic on pretty much everything :)
• Rosemary– gives the chickpeas a bit of a fresh flavor and I love it for that.

How to make Air Fryer Chickpeas:

This recipe (as with most air fryer recipes) is SUPER SIMPLE to make! Once the chickpeas have been dried off, simply toss all of the ingredients in a large bowl until the chickpeas are fully combined.

Add them to the base of your air fryer that has been pre-heated to 400 degrees F. Air fry for 15 minutes, toss halfway through.

AND that’s it! Super simple, right?
