Instructions

Heat your air fryer to 400F degrees.

After rinsing, thoroughly pat the chickpeas dry with paper towels or a lint free kitchen towel. Add them to a large bowl.

Mix in the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and rosemary and stir together until the chickpeas are evenly coated.

Place the chickpeas in the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring halfway, or until the chickpeas are crispy and brown.

Let cool slightly and ENJOY! To store leftovers, let cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. Store at room temperature.

Notes

If desired, sprinkle more garlic powder and salt over the finished chickpeas.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Chickpeas Thoroughly 💧
Pat canned chickpeas completely dry with paper towels before air frying—excess moisture prevents crispiness and causes steaming instead of crisping.
Shake the Basket Halfway Through ⏱️
Stop at the 8-minute mark and shake the air fryer basket vigorously to ensure even browning and maximum crispiness on all sides.
Toast Your Seasonings First 🌱
Lightly warm the dried rosemary and garlic powder in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing with oil—this blooms their flavors for deeper, more complex taste.
Use Light Oil Coating 🫒
Toss chickpeas with just 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil rather than heavy coating; too much oil creates grease spots instead of crispy exteriors.
Season After Cooking for Best Adhesion ✨
Sprinkle salt and any finishing spices immediately after air frying while chickpeas are still warm and slightly oily—seasonings stick better and flavor distributes evenly.
