These Crispy Chickpeas are a favourite at my house!
Every time I make a batch, I’ll find little hands trying to steal them before I even get to put them in the fridge. With four young boys in the house, I’m so grateful for healthy, protein filled snacks that they truly enjoy.
For myself, I love these crispy chickpeas as a “crouton” for many salads. Some of which include a Kale Caesar, a Roasted Sweet Potato Kale Slaw or a crunchy treat in an Asian Chicken Salad. (Recipes to come!)
And, bonus, while I’m whipping up my salad for lunch, I will often snack on a few extra chickpeas. They are especially delicious when they are fresh out of the air fryer!
Enjoy!

- Set the settings to air fry and 375ºF and set the timer for 15 minutes.
