Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt, to taste

Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect crispiness on the chickpeas.

    While the air fryer is heating up, carefully drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water to remove any canning liquid. Once rinsed, spread them out on a paper towel and pat dry to absorb excess moisture—this helps them get crispy.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with olive oil. Add in the everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the chickpeas until they are thoroughly coated with the flavorful seasonings.

        Carefully transfer the seasoned chickpeas into the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer. This ensures even cooking and maximizes crispiness.

          Air fry the chickpeas for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote uniform cooking. Keep a close eye on them as they roast; you're aiming for a delightful golden brown color and an irresistible crunch.

            Once they are finished cooking, remove the chickpeas from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes to enhance their crunch.

              For an extra flair, garnish your crispy chickpeas with finely chopped fresh parsley or chives. This adds a burst of color and a fresh herbal note to the dish.
