Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for added heat)

Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390Β°F (200Β°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Chickpeas: Pat dry the chickpeas with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a mixing bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Season Chickpeas: Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper to the chickpeas. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Air Fry Chickpeas: Place the seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook Chickpeas: Air fry the chickpeas at 390Β°F (200Β°C) for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The chickpeas are done when they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the chickpeas from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or as a topping for salads and soups!
