Description
Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Tajin Chickpeas make a perfect healthy snack or a zesty addition to your meals. These chickpeas are coated in olive oil and tangy Tajin seasoning, then air-fried to achieve a crunchy texture without deep frying.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpeas (canned, drained and patted dry or cooked)
- 2 tbsp Tajin seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Chickpeas: Pat dry the chickpeas thoroughly to remove any surface moisture. This step is essential to ensure they crisp up properly in the air fryer.
- Coat with Olive Oil: Place the chickpeas in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss well so every chickpea is evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Cook the chickpeas in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. Shake the basket gently at the 5-minute mark to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Season and Serve: Transfer the hot chickpeas into a bowl, sprinkle with Tajin seasoning, and toss thoroughly to coat. Serve immediately for best crunch or store in an airtight container once cool for later snacking.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before air frying to maximize crispiness.
- You can substitute Tajin seasoning with chili powder and lime zest if Tajin is unavailable.
- Adjust air frying time depending on your air fryer model for optimal crunch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
