Ingredients:
- Chickpeas
- Olive oil
- Seasonings of choice- Like Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning. I make my own Ranch Seasoning Blend using the recipe below, but you can sprinkle your favorite seasonings to change up the flavor.
Ingredients for Homemade Ranch Seasoning:
- Dried parsley
- Dried dill
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
- In a small bowl combine dried parsley, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and ground black pepper and crush them together (this releases the oils in spices for maximum flavor).
This recipe will make approximately 2-3 tablespoons of ranch seasoning mix. Store extra seasoning in well-sealed container or resealable bag to use later.
How to make air fryer Chickpeas:
-
Pour the can of chickpeas into a strainer. Drain chickpeas and rinse them well under cold water, then pat chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
-
Place chickpeas in a medium bowl with oil and toss them until they are well coated. Add in your choice of seasonings and toss them together fully coating the chickpeas.
-
Pour chickpeas into the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between chickpeas so they cook evenly.
-
Air fry at 400 degrees F for 13-15 minutes, until they are crispy and a light golden brown.
-
Serve seasoned chickpeas at any temperature.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, you may need a few extra minutes of cooking time.
