Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Chickpeas Thoroughly 💧
Pat canned chickpeas completely dry with paper towels and let them air-dry for 5-10 minutes—moisture is the enemy of crispiness and prevents proper browning.
Don't Skip the Oil Coating 🫒
Toss chickpeas with a light coating of oil (1-2 tablespoons per can) to ensure even crisping and prevent them from drying out in the air fryer.
Shake Halfway Through 🎯
Stop and shake the basket or toss the chickpeas at the 10-minute mark to ensure all sides cook evenly and achieve uniform golden-brown crispiness.
Season After Cooking 🧂
Apply salt and seasonings immediately after air frying while chickpeas are still warm and slightly moist—this helps the seasoning adhere better than pre-coating.
Store in Airtight Container 🏺
Cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crispiness for up to 3-4 days; avoid plastic bags which trap moisture and cause sogginess.
