Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry completely with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp up better during air frying.
  2. Season the Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the chickpeas and toss again to ensure all are well coated with the seasoning.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  4. Air Fry the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to promote even crisping and prevent burning. Continue until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the chickpeas from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes; they will become even crispier as they cool. Serve immediately as a tasty snack or salad topping.

Notes

  • Make sure chickpeas are thoroughly dried before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Adjust ranch seasoning quantity to taste or substitute with your favorite spice blends.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature; they are best enjoyed within 2 days for optimal crunch.
  • Shake the air fryer basket regularly to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
