We have made many roasted chickpea recipes over the years and loved them all. Recently while looking for a potato chip replacement in cold lunches, we wanted to try air fried chickpeas to see if they provided more crunch than just roasted and boy do they! These may be the best roasted chickpeas we have ever had. They are perfectly crunchy and held up in the pantry over the week making them a great, on the go snack.
We tried two flavor variations, ranch and cinnamon sugar, but the flavor options are as endless as your imaginations. You need just under one tablespoon of what ever seasoning you are wanting to try.
Soak chickpeas for 8 hours, cover chickpeas in 1 inch of water.
Drain chickpeas. Bring 6 cups of water to boil, add chickpeas.
Cook until chickpeas are al dente, drain, and let cool for 10 minutes.
Place 2 cups of prepared chickpeas in air fryer basket. Set temperature to 390 degrees for 17 minutes. After 5 minutes, open basket and spray chickpeas with oil.
Every 5 minutes continue to shake the basket.
With 2 minutes left, sprinkle half of the seasoning onto the chickpeas and shake.
Once chickpeas are done, place in them in a bowl and add the remaining seasoning and stir.

I cut down to 1 cup and increased the time in 5 min increments to get the crunchy garbanzos – great snack

How long do you cook these chickpeas until they are al dente?

Thanks for the recipes. Re the air fried chickpea recipe, I don’t think you mean this:
“4. Place 2 cups of dried chickpeas in air fryer basket.”
I think you mean “Place the now cooked chickpeas in air fryer basket.” Right?
