Air-fryer crispy salt and pepper chickpeas

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes, plus cooling

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 t olive oil
1 t sea salt
1 t freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Dry the chickpeas on kitchen paper to remove any excess water, then remove any loose skins.

2. Mix together the oil, salt and pepper in a bowl, add the chickpeas and toss in the mixture to ensure they are evenly coated.

3. Cook in a preheated air fryer at 200°C for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, until crispy. Allow to cool as they will continue to crisp. Serve as a snack or as a salad topper.
