I love using my air fryer, it gets used almost every single day and I can’t get enough of it. I’ve forgotten how to use my oven it’s that popular. If you’ve seen my spicy roasted chickpea recipe you’ll know they’re the perfect lunch box snack for adults! However, they do take a while in the oven which is why I’ve started doing them in the air fryer and they’re just as delicious.
These air fryer chickpeas are so easy anyone could make them. Plus, you can top them with any seasoning you want and personally I like mine with a kick but I know that’s not everyone’s taste. They can be as mild or spicy as you want and suddenly chickpeas aren’t just that tin you have sitting at the back of your cupboard but a nice snack to munch on, nice and crispy too.
