Roasted Chickpeas Air Fryer Recipe
These air fryer roasted chickpeas are crispy, spicy, and super easy to make. A perfect healthy snack you can enjoy anytime with simple pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ tablespoon paprika
- ¼ tablespoon garam masala
- ¼ tablespoon chaat masala
- ¼ tablespoon coriander powder
- sea salt to taste
- ⅓ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Take a bowl and add chickpeas, water, and baking soda. Soak them overnight for 10–12 hours. Baking soda helps the chickpeas soften.
- The next day, drain the water and pat the chickpeas dry using a kitchen towel. Let them rest for about 1 hour to remove extra moisture completely.
- Transfer the chickpeas to a bowl. Add oil, paprika, garam masala, chaat masala, coriander powder, and black salt. Mix well so all the spices coat evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 2 minutes.
- Place the chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 18 minutes. Shake or toss the basket every 5 minutes for even cooking and crispiness.
- Serve hot and enjoy crispy spicy chickpeas.
Notes
- Always dry the chickpeas properly before air frying for best crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the basket, keep them in a single layer.
- Shake the basket during cooking for even roasting.
- Adjust spices based on your taste preference.
- Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model.
