Ingredients
Scale
Chickpeas
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas (drained, rinsed and patted dry)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 teaspoons ranch seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for crisping the chickpeas evenly.
- Mix chickpeas: In a medium bowl, toss the drained, rinsed, and thoroughly dried chickpeas with the olive oil and fine sea salt, coating them evenly to enhance crisping and flavor.
- Air fry: Spread the chickpeas in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket occasionally to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- Season: Once crisp and golden, transfer the warm chickpeas back into a bowl and toss them with the ranch seasoning until evenly coated.
- Serve: Enjoy your crunchy air fryer ranch chickpeas immediately as a tasty snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the chickpeas dry thoroughly to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Adjust ranch seasoning quantity to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger ranch flavor.
- Use a 6-quart air fryer or similar capacity for best results; smaller air fryers may require shorter cooking times and shaking more frequently.
- These chickpeas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
