Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas
These four-ingredient chickpeas roast up in the air fryer until audibly crunchy, with bright chili-lime seasoning and a gentle cayenne warmth. They’re salty-tangy with a peppery finish—perfect for snacking, topping salads, or adding crunch to grain bowls. Serve Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas fresh from the fryer or after a brief rest for maximum snap.
