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.
