Instructions

For oven-roasted chickpeas:

  • If making in an oven, preheat oven to 400 ºF (200 ºC).
  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
  • Spread in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and oven roast for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, shaking the pan every 10 minutes.

Forcrispy air-fryer chickpeas:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
  • Set the air fryer to 350 ºF (180 ºC).
  • Add all the chickpeas to the air fryer basket (I like lining it with parchment paper).
    Fry for 15 minutes in the air fryer, shaking halfway until crispy and golden brown.
