- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chickpeas dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and any additional spices if using. Toss until the chickpeas are well coated with the spices.
- Place the seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the chickpeas at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning.
- Once the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your crispy air fryer chickpeas as a healthy snack or topping for salads and soups!
