A quick and easy snack recipe featuring crispy air-fried chickpeas seasoned with savory Everything Bagel seasoning. Perfect for snacking or parties, this recipe delivers a crunchy, flavorful, and healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed thoroughly
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 teaspoons Everything Bagel seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt (sea salt or kosher salt preferred)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Drain and dry the chickpeas thoroughly using a kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning, salt, pepper, and optional spices over the chickpeas and toss to distribute evenly.
  5. Arrange chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 15 to 18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Transfer chickpeas to a plate or bowl lined with paper towels and let cool for at least 5 minutes to crisp up further.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired by sprinkling additional Everything Bagel seasoning or salt while still warm.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before air frying to ensure crispiness. Shake the basket every 5 minutes during cooking for even crisping. If chickpeas are chewy after cooking, add a few more minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning. Seasoning sticks best when tossed with oil before cooking. Can be baked in a convection oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
