Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly, shaking off as much water as possible.
Spread the chickpeas on a towel and gently pat them dry. Use the towel to rub off any loose skins.
In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas with olive oil and spices, tossing well to coat.
Transfer the chickpeas to the air fryer basket and cook for 13 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket 2 to 3 times during cooking.
When they are crispy but not burnt, pour them onto a baking sheet to cool.
Allow the chickpeas to cool for at least 30 minutes before storing. They will become crunchier as they cool.

Notes

For extra crunch, make sure chickpeas are well-dried before cooking.
Store cooled chickpeas in a container with a cracked lid or in a paper bag to maintain their crispiness.
If the chickpeas soften, reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crunch.
