Ingredients

15 oz chickpeas garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
½ teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

Preheat an air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes.
Drain the can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) and rinse them. There's no need to blot them dry with paper towels cooking them in an air fryer.
Spread the can of chickpeas in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Make sure they are in a single layer. If you have a small air fryer you might only be able to cook ½ a can at a time. The total cooking time for the recipe will be 16-17 minutes.
Cook the chickpeas for 5 minutes at 400 F and then shake the basket to stir the beans around. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes in the air fryer.
Remove the chickpeas from the basket and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Add the olive oil and garlic salt and toss to combine. Pour the seasoned chickpeas back into the air fryer and air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy to your liking.
Remove the roasted air fryer chickpeas and add more salt or another seasoning to taste.

Notes

Do not double this recipe as it'll overcrowd the air fryer and the chickpeas won't get as crispy.
Other seasoning ideas include powdered Ranch mix, curry powder, BBQ rub seasoning, salt, and pepper.
These are delicious as a snack and also as a salad topper!
