A Crispy Air-Fried Chickpea Recipe

1. Add 1 can (15 oz) drained chickpeas (no need to rinse) to the mixture.
2. Olive oil (or other cooking oil) spray
3. Choose your seasoning:
4. One tablespoon ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper

Instructions:

Preparation:

• Drain the chickpeas and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. No need to rinse—the tiny dampness aids cooking.
• Dry chickpeas by air-frying at 390°F (200°C) for 2 minutes without salt or oil. This stage dries them.
  In the first cooking round, only lightly spray the chickpeas with olive oil.
• Put them back in the air fryer for 5 minutes. Shake the basket for even frying.
• In the second cooking round, cook for 5 minutes and shake the basket again for even browning.
• Season with your preferred seasoning in the last 2 minutes of cooking. As an example:
• 1 tbsp ranch
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper
• Finish cooking in the air fryer for 2 minutes.
• To cool, remove the chickpeas and distribute them on a platter. They crunch better when cooled.
  Additional seasoning may be added after cooling.
