Why Make Air Fryer Chick Peas (Garbanzos)

The first answer would have to be, that chick peas are acutally pretty good for you. Chickpeas are high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. They potentially can help control blood sugar, manage weight, and support heart and gut health.

The real answer is it saves to much time. Making the chickpeas in the air fryer cuts the time in half versus baking them in the oven. We are all about short cuts.

This is one of the reasons we love the Air Fryer so much. It makes the food you love to cook, easier and more available. The Air Fryer is saving you time and keeps it a little healthier since you’re using less oil and not frying.

Finally we love this Chick Pea Recipe because it works as a snack, but can also be used on top of a salad to spice it up.

Our Tips for Making Your New Favorite Snack

This recipe calls for some seasonings that are more on the spicy side. However, if you are not into the spicy, substitute the seasonings for things you like more or just keep it simple with salt and pepper. The only thing we may insist on is serving with a squeeze of lime.

The best tip we can give you is to buy canned chickpeas that are salted. Chickpeas that have no sodium just won’t taste the same. Even if you aggressively season them on the outside, the seasoning will never penetrate and flavor the inside.

They would be the perfect topping to our Rice Salad or as an appetizer to your next dinner party.
