How do I store these chickpeas?

Store the chickpeas in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. Make sure they're not exposed to any moisture or they'll get soggy. After 4 days, they tend to get stale.

How long does it take to cook chickpeas in the air fryer?

We cook our chickpeas at 300°F for about 30 minutes, but the timing may vary depending on your air fryer. Take the basket out and shake it every 5 minutes or so, and continue cooking until the chickpeas reach your desired crispness.

Can I add the seasoning before I cook the chickpeas?

I don't recommend air frying your chickpeas with the seasoning already on them because a lot of seasonings have a tendency to burn. Adding it after they've cooked works best in our experience.

Instructions

Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas and place them into the basket of your air fryer. Add oil and shake the basket to cover the chickpeas completely.
Cook at 300°F for 30 minutes (or until crispy), removing the basket and shaking it every 5-10 minutes.
Once the chickpeas are crispy, toss them with your desired seasonings while they're still hot. Allow them to cool, then transfer them to an air-tight container and enjoy them within 3 or 4 days.

Notes

Use a neutral-tasting oil like avocado oil or vegetable oil. I wouldn't recommend olive oil or anything else with a distinct flavor (unless that's the flavor you're going for!).
Ranch seasoning, taco seasoning, sea salt, pepper, and Tajín are a few ideas, but the possibilities are endless! You can also leave them totally plain.
