This recipe roasts canned chickpeas in your air fryer. Roasting chickpeas transforms the soft little legumes into crispy little balls. I've always roasted my chickpeas in the oven, but once I tried them in the air fryer, I knew I would use that method more often than not. The air fryer cooks them super quickly and gives them an even, golden brown crispness.
The ranch seasoning is the perfect addition to these crisp chickpeas. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!

- In a medium bowl, toss the rinsed chickpeas with the olive oil. Place the chickpeas into your air fryer basket. Air fry at 390 degrees F for 15 minutes, shaking the chickpeas in the basket every 5 minutes.
- When the timer has 2 minutes remaining, toss the chickpeas with half of the ranch seasoning and continue frying until crisp and browned. When the cooking time is complete, toss with the remaining ranch seasoning.

When you say Ranch, are you talking about in a jar type or in the envelope, powder kind?

DeleteMine didn't get crispy at all.Followed directions but didn't work.
ReplyDeleteMine either
ReplyDeleteTry cooking a bit longer until they are crisped to your liking.
DeleteHave you done this with the non canned chick peas? Every time I use canned chick peas they burn or have a soft center. Curious if the dried chick peas would do better
DeleteI thought we would love these. So sorry for this feedback but they were terrible. No flavor at all. And we cook with ranch often.
DeleteI just made these, they didn't get crispy but I do like them. They were popping like popcorn while in the air fryer though.
ReplyDeleteMine came out crispy and brown, I used a scant tbsp of olive oil, so the ranch dressing powder did not all stick to the chick peas. (Still good) I will use the complete amount of oil next time.
ReplyDeleteI used the Ninja double basket fryer. Air fried about 8 minutes longer for crispier crunch. Turned out ok. But I'm not a chick pea fan to begin with. Would I make again. Probably not. But recipe was easy to follow.
