Ingredients
Ingredients
- 15.5 ounces canned chickpeas (or garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon oil (or cooking oil spray)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or your choice of sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Dry the Chickpeas: After rinsing the canned chickpeas thoroughly, allow them to air dry on the air fryer basket or carefully pat them dry with a clean microfiber towel to remove excess moisture for optimal crispiness.
- Toss with Seasonings: Transfer the dried chickpeas into a mixing bowl and toss them evenly with the oil, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until fully coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to preheat, ensuring a hot cooking environment for crispy results.
- Air Fry the Chickpeas: Spread the chickpeas with space between them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times during cooking to promote even crisping and prevent burning.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are thoroughly dried before air frying to maximize crispiness.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or regular granulated sugar based on preference.
- Shake the basket frequently to avoid burning and to cook chickpeas evenly.
- Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container; they are best eaten within 2 days for maximum crunch.
- Adjust sweetness and cinnamon levels to taste if desired.
