Ingredients
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
1 teaspoon za’atar seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or equal parts oregano, thyme, basil, and marjoram
Directions
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F for 10 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Dry the chickpeas thoroughly on a paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. You can even dry them in a salad spinner, but you might lose a few depending on the design of your spinner. Discard any skins that come off of the chickpeas during this step.
Combine the oil and spice mix in a bowl and whisk to combine. Gently incorporate the chickpeas until coated.
Transfer to the preheated air fryer and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes until crispy. Taste one of the chickpeas; if it's not as crispy as you'd like, then continue to cook for another 1 to 3 minutes.
Some of the chickpeas may look as though they have “popped.
Remove from the basket to a bowl, taste, and add more salt, pepper or seasoning to your liking. Serve immediately; the crispy chickpeas will not keep.
