Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Chickpeas Thoroughly 💧
Pat canned chickpeas completely dry with paper towels before seasoning—excess moisture prevents crispiness and causes them to steam rather than fry in the air fryer.
Don't Skip the Oil Coating 🫒
Toss chickpeas with olive oil before seasoning to create a protective barrier that ensures maximum crispness and helps spices adhere evenly for better flavor distribution.
Season in Two Stages ✨
Mix half your spices with the oil before air frying, then sprinkle the remaining half immediately after cooking while they're still hot—this layering technique intensifies flavor complexity.
Shake Basket Halfway Through ⏱️
Pause at the 8-minute mark to shake the air fryer basket vigorously, ensuring even browning and preventing clumping for consistently crispy results across every batch.
Toast Spices First for Depth 🎯
Lightly toast your cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing with oil to unlock their essential oils and create a more robust, sophisticated flavor profile.
