Equipment

Ingredients

2 (15 oz.) cans chickpeas, drained and patted completely dry
2 tbsps. olive oil
1/4 cup gated (crumbly) Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
zest of one lemon
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

Drain and rinse your chickpeas under cold water, patting completely dry with a paper towel.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss gently until chickpeas are covered uniformly in seasonings.
Set air fryer to 390 degrees F. Divide chickpeas into three batches, air frying one batch at a time as to not overcrowd them. Air fry for 5-6 minutes, remove and shake the basket and air fry for another 5 minutes or until desired crispiness is reached. Repeat with each batch until done.
Serve immediately or cool chickpeas in a single layer on paper towels or parchment sheets before storing in parchment bags for up to three days.
