Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dry ranch seasoning mix

Equipment

  • 1 5- to 6-quart air fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat a 5- to 6-quart air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes.
  2. Spread the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and pat them very dry, removing any loose skins.
  3. Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 390°F for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp.
  5. Transfer the hot chickpeas to a bowl, add the dry ranch seasoning mix, and toss to coat.
  6. Cool for 10 minutes before serving; the chickpeas will become crispier as they cool.

Notes

For the crispiest result, pat the chickpeas very dry before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended because they lose their crispness. Use a dairy-free ranch seasoning mix for a dairy-free option.
