Equipment

Ingredients

  • cups cooked chickpeas (from one 15.5 oz can, or cooked from scratch with ½ cup dried chickpeas.)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne (or use paprika for less heat)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (skip if sensitive to heat as there is already cayenne in this recipe. Or skip the cayenne and use black pepper)
  • ¼ teaspoon chaat masala (use 1 tablespoon lemon juice as a substitute)
  • ½ tablespoon rice flour (or cornstarch)
  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil or any neutral oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Place the chickpeas in a bowl and add the spices--garlic, turmeric, cayenne (or paprika), ground cumin, ground black pepper and chaat masala (or lemon).
  • Add the rice flour (or cornstarch), vegetable oil and salt. Mix everything until every chickpea is coated with the spices.
  • Place the chickpeas in the air fryer basket, preferably in a single layer so every chickpea roasts perfectly.
  • Set the air fryer to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C for 12 minutes. Toss the chickpeas every four minutes so they roast evenly.
  • Eat hot or warm or at room temperature!
