Ingredients

  • 1 can 15 ounces garbanzo beans, drained and dried
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil avocado oil works well too because of the high smoke point
  • 1 tablespoon Ranch buttermilk dressing mix*
  • salt and pepper as needed

Instructions

  • Completely dry the garbanzo beans and pick out any loose skins or broken beans. Pat them dry or let them air dry on a towel.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees for 3 minutes. In a bowl, combine the beans, oil, and seasoning, then toss to coat.
  • Place chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 10-15 minutes depending on your preference. Shake every 4-5 minutes to make sure they're crispy on all sides.

Notes

*The ranch dressing mix I used: https://amzn.to/3PeceSm
If you skip the drying step, your chickpeas won't be crispy as long. The drier your chickpeas are, the longer they will stay crunchy! If they lose their crispiness, just pop back into the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
