Ingredients:
- 30 ounces garbanzo beans (2 cans)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper

- Open the canned garbanzo beans. Place into a colander and rinse well.
- Use a paper towel to really dry the beans.
- Add your dried chickpeas to a bowl. Add the oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- HINT: Be sure to really dry your chickpeas!! This is a must or your chickpeas will not get super crispy. To dry them, rinse them in a colander. Use a paper towel to really dry them.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390º F for 4-5 minutes. Place the garbanzo beans into your air fryer.
- Do not pile the chickpeas too high. If you are making more than one can at a time, they won't cook thoroughly so it is best to air fry them in two batches unless you are using a very large air fryer.
- Note: I do not recommend using flavor seasoning on the garbanzo beans before air frying them. Many spices can get bitter and rancid from high heat.
- Air fry the chickpeas for 15-18 minutes. The longer you air fry them, the crispier they will turn out. At the 8 minute mark, open the air fryer quickly and stir the chickpeas so they cook evenly on all sides.
- Pour the air fried chickpeas into a large bowl and quickly add your seasonings. Toss to coat. Enjoy!
