Notes

Make sure to dry the chickpeas well after rinsing to ensure they crisp up nicely. Feel free to experiment with different spices like cumin or chili powder for varied flavors. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and maximum crunch. Leftover chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
