Frequently asked questions!

 

 

How to store crunchy chickpeas recipe?

 

To store, place in a storage container or jar and DO NOT tightly cover. I found that this helped them stay crispy longer. These are best on the first day, but they will last for 4-5 days at room temperature.

 

Can we roast this crunchy chickpeas in the oven instead of using the air fryer?

 

YES, you can just transfer the seasoned chickpeas to a baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast until crispy. I start checking at 20 minutes, but it can take up to 30 minutes for them to become really crisp.

 

Is this crunchy chickpeas recipe healthy?

 

Yes, this recipe is very healthy and full of protein and also vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1 can of chickpeas (drained and very well drained + thoroughly dried)

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons oil 

  • 1 teaspoon seasonings of choice (such as  smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, or chili powder)

Directions

  • Drain chickpeas well. If using oil, rinse well with water and thoroughly drain.
  • Once drained well, spread the chickpeas out on a clean, absorbent towel and use your hands to gently roll and dry the chickpeas.
  • Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl and add the oil, salt, and seasoning. Mix well to combine.
  • Dump the whole batch of chickpeas in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20 -30 minutes, shaking every 7 minutes. 
  • Then let cool 5-10 minutes – they will continue crisping as they cool.
  • Serve as is or atop bowls or salads! To store, place in a storage container or jar and DO NOT tightly cover. Instead, crack lid so they can “breathe” a bit. I found that this helped them stay crispy longer. These are best in the first day, but they will last for 4-5 days at room temperature. Alternatively, seal well and freeze up to 1 month.
