Ingredients
Garbanzo Beans - Use may use dried or canned beans. If using dried beans you will have to soak for 6-8 hours and then cook until soft. If using canned chickpeas you may use them directly by draining the liquid.
Oil - Helps in coating the spice powders to the beans. Hence do not skip. You may use olive oil or any cooking oil.
Lemon Juice - Gives a flavor punch to the chickpeas.
Spice Powders - I am adding paprika powder, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper powder, and Cumin powder. You may customize them as you prefer.
Roasted Chickpeas Seasonings
The best thing about these roasted chickpeas is that you may use the seasonings as you prefer. You can simply use the pantry ingredients to flavor them. If you like Mexican flavors you can try Taco seasonings. You may use Trader joe's Everything bagel seasoning or Chilli lime too.
If you like Indian flavors more you may use Garam Masala and some Chaat Masala.
How to make Roasted Chickpeas in air fryer
1.In a mixing bowl add the chickpeas. If using canned chickpeas, drain the water, pat dry them with paper towels, and then add. If using dried chickpeas soak them in water overnight and cook and use.
2. Add oil to the chickpeas.
3. Next, add the lemon juice. Toss everything together so the beans are well coated with oil and lemon juice.
4. Now add the spice powders. I am using Paprika powder, Cumin powder, Garlic powder, Black pepper powder, and the required salt.
5. Toss everything once again to combine.
6. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F or 200 C for 5 mins. Brush the preheated air fryer basket with oil or use a spray. Spread the basket with chickpeas.
7. Air fry at 190 C or 374 F for 12 mins. Open the air fryer after the first 6 minutes and shake the basket once. And then open after another 4 mins and shake the basket once.
Crispy Air fryer Roasted Chickpeas is now ready. A guiltfree and yummy snack for tea time.
Roasted chickpeas in Oven
Follow the same instructions and prep the beans. Preheat the oven to 425 F for 10 mins and then spread the spiced chickpeas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 25 - 30 mins or until they are crisp.
Tips & Variations
- Make sure you pat the chickpeas dry completely before adding the oil. If the chickpeas have moisture they won't crisp up. They become soggy hence it's an important step.
- Remove if there are any loose skins from the chickpeas.
- If you don't have an air fryer you may try the same recipe in your oven too.
- Feel free to use the spice powders as you prefer.
- Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness.
- Goes well as an evening snack with some hot tea. You may also toss them in some salad. Top them in soups, and add them in tacos or wraps.
Storing Suggestions
Highly recommend serving the roasted chickpeas immediately. storing them for a longer time will not spoil the beans but they lose their crispiness. Recommend using them immediately for maximum crispiness.
You may store them for up to 1 or 2 days at room temperature. Storing them in the fridge may turn the chickpeas chewy.
