Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Moisture Removal Magic 💧
    Pat chickpeas completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness in the air fryer, preventing steaming instead of crisping.
  • Seasoning Secret Weapon 🌶️
    Toss chickpeas with oil first, then add dry seasonings to ensure even coating and maximum flavor absorption, preventing clumping of spices.
  • Single Layer Superiority 🥣
    Arrange chickpeas in a single, non-overlapping layer in the air fryer basket to guarantee uniform crispiness and prevent soggy spots.
  • Shake and Rotate Technique 🔄
    Shake the air fryer basket every 5 minutes during cooking to ensure even browning and prevent any chickpeas from burning.
  • Cooling Crunch Hack 💨
    Let chickpeas cool completely outside the air fryer to maintain maximum crispiness, as they continue to crisp up while cooling.
