Cooking techniques
Air frying is a fantastic way to achieve a crispy texture without excess oil. It circulates hot air around the food, making it a healthier option!
Variations or substitutions
Feel free to experiment with different spices! Try cumin, chili powder, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
Storage tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If they lose their crunch, a quick reheat in the air fryer can bring them back!
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chickpeas in the olive oil and spices for a few minutes before air frying.
