Crispy Air Fryer Cinnamon Chickpeas
My crispy air fryer cinnamon chickpeas are such a simple thing to make but perfect for on the go snacking, throwing in a kids lunchbox or just a little hit of something sweet when you need it. This high fibre snack will help keep you full and fueled up throughout the day.
Ingredients
- 1 19 fl oz (about 2 cups) can no salt added chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- 1 tbsp (14g) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (22g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt (1/8 tsp if using a regular salted can)
Instructions
- Drain the chickpeas as much as you can after rinsing them. Add them to a small bowl and toss in the oil. Dump them into the air fryer, making sure they have enough room to spread out. (You don't want them too on top of each other or they won't crisp up much.)
- Cook at 390℉ for 10 minutes. While they cook, add the sugar, cinnamon and salt to a small bowl and mix. Once the 10 minutes is up, add half the seasoning and toss. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, tossing a couple times throughout.
- Taste one carefully as they'll be hot, to make sure they're crisp enough. If not, cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes. Toss them in the rest of the cinnamon sugar and allow to fully cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
