Air Fryer Ranch Chickpeas
Crispy, seasoned chickpeas made quickly in the air fryer for a crunchy, savory snack.
Equipment
- air fryer (6‑quart) or similar size
- Medium Bowl
- paper towels or clean kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 teaspoons ranch seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained, rinsed, and thoroughly dried chickpeas with the olive oil and sea salt; toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the chickpeas in an even single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket occasionally so the chickpeas crisp and brown evenly.
- Transfer the warm chickpeas to a bowl and immediately toss with the ranch seasoning until evenly coated.
- Serve once slightly cooled and crisp.
Notes
- Dry chickpeas well so they crisp properly.
- Toss the basket every 7–8 minutes for even browning.
- Use a single layer; cook in batches if needed.
