Friends, forget everything you thought you knew about chickpeas!

These air fryer roasted chickpeas are crispy, crunchy, bursting with flavor, and dangerously addictive. Seriously… they’re the snack you never knew you needed (but now can’t live without)!

As a Registered Dietitian, I’m always looking for quick and easy snack ideas, and because these have protein and fiber, they seriously check all of the boxes!

They’re so easy to make, only take 20-minutes, and since we’re using the air fryer, are kind of a set-it-and-forget-it situation. And trust me, I tested this air fryer snack idea to perfection to make sure that the chickpeas turn out as crispy and crunchy as possible!

Crispy, Crunchy, and Ready for Anything!

These chickpeas are so versatile, I’ve tested using them on so many different dishes and they all turn out amazing. My personal favorite way to use them is on my Actually Tasty and Healthy 20-Minute Kale Salad!

But let’s be real, these air-fried crispy chickpeas are also amazing in a wrap or as a snack on their own!

I especially love tossing these air fryer chickpeas into a grain bowl or salad alongside a dollop of my Spicy & Healthy Edamame Dip. It adds the perfect creamy, flavorful contrast to the crispy chickpeas!

Ingredients
 

  • 540 ml canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste

Equipment

  • Air fryer can use oven if you don't have an air fryer!

Instructions
 

  • Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. Make sure that you rinse them really well to get rid of any of the liquid, since this is where most of the salt and gas-inducing compounds are found.
  • Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika and salt. Stir well to mix together.
  • Place the chickpeas in the air fryer and air fry at 400F for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and crispy. Enjoy!
