Notes

Recipe Pro-Tips

Thoroughly dry the chickpeas. Before seasoning, drain the chickpeas well and pat them dry with a kitchen towel or paper towel to remove all excess moisture. This will help make the texture of the roasted garbanzo beans extra crispy.
Preheat the oven or air fryer. Preheat the oven or air fryer before cooking to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness. This step is essential when roasting chickpeas!
Spread chickpeas in a single layer. Lay the seasoned chickpeas in an even, single layer on the baking sheet or the air fryer basket. This will prevent them from crowding together and becoming soggy instead of crispy.
Monitor cooking time. Keep a close eye on the chickpeas towards the end of the recommended cooking time while roasting. They can quickly turn from crispy to burnt, so check on them frequently.
Toss halfway through the cooking time. Give the air fryer a good shake or use a spatula to gently turn over the chickpeas halfway through the recommended cooking time. This will help cook the crispy chickpea recipe evenly for the best texture.
Cool before serving. Allow the roasted garbanzo bean recipe to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps them crisp further and allows the flavors to develop fully.

Storage Directions

Allow the baked chickpea recipe to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or glass jar. This will keep the chickpeas from becoming soggy. Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat for up to 1 week. If desired, re-crisp in the oven at 350ºF for 5-10 minutes or in the air fryer at 350ºF for 3-5 minutes.
