Crispy Ranch Air Fryer Chickpeas

Crispy Ranch Air Fryer Chickpeas

Sharing this quick and healthy snack recipe for crispy ranch air fryer chickpeas!

Hi hi! How is the day going? We’re chilling here at home and taking it easy today. I’ve been studying, cleaning, participating in retail therapy, and cooking some tasty eats. I made one of my favorite easy air fryer recipes, super delicious air fryer chickpeas, and wanted to share the recipe with you.

The kids and I LOVE the Bienas chickpea snacks (we order them from Thrive Market!) but they tend to be a little on the pricey side, especially when the three of us consume a bag in a single sitting. I was looking at them the other day and thought it would be a fun experiment to try roasting chickpeas to make them on my own.

It was way easier than I thought and I made a giant batch that we enjoyed yesterday afternoon. These will definitely be making another appearance as part of meal prep and packed lunch snacks for the kids.

Crispy Ranch Air Fryer Chickpeas

Crispy Ranch Air Fryer Chickpeas Seasoning

2 cans of chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

Avocado oil (you can also use olive oil)

Seasoning of choice. Since I did a version of homemade ranch seasoning by including onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried dill, dried chives, salt and pepper. You can also use ranch dressing mix or get wild and use Everything But the Bagel Seasoning, Dill Pickle seasoning, curry, anything you like!

How to make crispy air fryer chickpeas

Step one

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Gently pat dry with a paper towel. Preheat the air fryer to 390.

Step two

Lightly coat the chickpeas with a drizzle of oil and make sure that they’re fully coated.

Step three

Make the seasoning mix in a separate bowl. Stir well and sprinkle the chickpeas with the seasoning mix.

Step four

Add the chickpeas to the air fryer, and make sure they’re evenly spread out into a single layer. Gently season with salt and pepper.

Step five

Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the air fryer basket every so often, until golden and crispy, about 12-15 minutes.

Here’s the full recipe if you want to give it a try!

Ingredients

2 cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Avocado oil

Tips for using the air fryer:

– Don’t be scared! I was intimidated for a long time, and I also didn’t think it would be “worth it” as far as counter space goes. It’s worth it. We use it almost every day and it’s especially amazing for anything frozen, like fries and veggies. Potatoes are an air fryer dream, let me tell ya.

– Make sure there’s room in the air fryer basket for air to circulate. You don’t want to totally pack it.

– If you’re looking for an easier cleaning option, you can get some air fryer parchment.

A question for my air fryer friends: my only slight gripe is that ours is coated with a nonstick Teflon-ish material. I’m looking for one with a stainless steel basket if you have any recommendations!

Please let me know if you give this recipe a try. 🙂

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see ya soon.

Don’t have an air fryer? No worries! You can make roast at 400 degrees on a cookie sheet for about 35 minutes. I have a BBQ chickpea recipe here!

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry Move over Everest, there’s a new headline-grabber in town and it’s barely taller than you are. Mount Paltry has exploded on social media as the world’s smallest mountain , a tiny bump in Australia that has become internet-famous precisely because it looks… well, not very mountain-like at all. In a world obsessed with extreme hikes and record-breaking peaks, this modest mound has captured global attention by doing the exact opposite: being proudly underwhelming. Where on Earth Is Mount Paltry? Mount Paltry is described in viral posts as a miniature mountain in Australia, rising only a few metres above the surrounding land. It’s usually shown as a small, rounded rise in an otherwise flat landscape the kind of bump you might expect to call a hill, or even “just a bit of ground,” rather than a mountain. That’s exactly why people love it: the contrast between the dramatic title “world’s smallest mountain” and the very ordinar...

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles Did you know that over 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or larger? Yet, despite the demand, the fashion industry has been slow to provide elegant, well-fitting, and on-trend plus- size wedding guest dresses. Many women face limited choices, ill-fitting designs, and outdated silhouettes that fail to highlight their curves. Shopping for the perfect dress can feel like navigating a minefield either the options lack style, the fit is off, or the available dresses don’t align with the formality of the event. For years, plus-size women have been told to “hide” their curves instead of celebrating them. Traditional formalwear often lacks the structure, comfort, or aesthetic appeal needed to make plus-size wedding guests feel just as glamorous as their straight-size counterparts. The frustration of sifting through uninspiring racks, struggling with restrictive fabrics, or settling for ill- proportioned designs is all too fami...
