Crispy Chickpea in air fryer

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chickpeas: Pat the chickpeas dry thoroughly with kitchen paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
2. Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with the cooking spray, ensuring even distribution. Add your chosen spice mix and any additional flavourings you like. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
3. Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes. Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the basket’s bottom, ensuring they don’t overcrowd (cook in batches if necessary).
4. Crispy Perfection: Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chickpeas are done when golden brown and crispy.
5. Enjoy!: Let the chickpeas cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own as a snack, sprinkled over salads, or added to diet Buddha bowls or soups.

Tips:

• Experiment with different spice combinations to find your favourites. Remember, all herbs and spices are Free food
• For an extra kick, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after air frying.
• Leftover chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to refresh the crispiness.
