Tips

• If you have some extra time, marinate the chickpeas in spices for 10-15 minutes before air frying.
• Avoid cooking at high temperature to prevent burning. Lower temperatures require less frequent shaking.
• The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chickpeas. Larger ones may need more time to cook. Start checking from 10 minutes for best results.
• Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to prevent uneven cooking.
