These Air Fryer Chickpeas become totally crispy in just 10 minutes! They are a fast & easy snack with plenty of crunch, and they make the perfect salad or soup topping, too.

Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, and dry them off with a towel to remove any excess moisture. Transfer them to a bowl, and drizzle on the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir well to coat them.
Transfer the chickpeas to the basket of your air fryer and spread them out in a single layer. The more space the chickpeas have, the crispier they will be, so don't overcrowd the basket. Cook at 400ºF for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crisping.
When the timer goes off, the chickpeas should be golden and crispy. You can always add another minute or two if they aren't yet! Serve them warm right away for a savory snack, or serve them over your favorite salad or soup for extra protein. These are best served within the first few hours of making them, because the texture will change (for the worse!) when they are chilled in the fridge. The leftover chickpeas are safe to eat for up to 5 days in the fridge, but the texture isn't as appealing, so just keep that in mind.

Notes
Nutrition information is for 1 of 4 servings, or roughly a 1/3 cup of chickpeas. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate not a guarantee. Feel free to change the spices up as desired. You can try my Cajun seasoning for a spicier snack, or some cumin and chili powder for more of a Southwest flavor. If you use a sweetener, like maple syrup or coconut sugar, keep in mind that those will be more prone to burn, so you might want to cook these at a lower temperature and check on them often.
