Ingredients

  • 500 g cooked chickpeas from 2 x cans 400g chickpeas
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon everyday seasoning homemade seasoning recipe
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Drain the tinned chickpeas in a colander or sieve (reserving the aquafaba for an alternative use if you need) and rinse them well under cold water. Leave the chickpeas to rest for a few minutes in the sieve, then spread them out onto a clean tea towel or kitchen paper.
  • Pat the chickpeas thoroughly dry. Removing as much moisture as possible will help them become extra crispy.
  • Toss with the chickpeas with the everyday seasoning and olive oil until evenly coated.

Air Fryer

  • Air fry at 200°C on the air fry setting for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Oven Baked

  • Spread the chickpeas evenly on a lined baking tray. Bake at in an oven pre-heated to 200°C / 180°C fan assisted / gas mark 6 / 400°F for 30-35 minutes. Shake the chickpeas halfway through so they cook evenly. They are ready when they are golden and crispy.
  • Once the chickpeas are ready then sprinkle over the extra sea salt.
  • Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  • This is my recipe for Homemade Everyday Seasoning. You can use a shop bought everyday seasoning. Trader Joe’s version is my favourite but since I can’t get it all the time as I’m in the UK then I usually use my homemade version. A shop bought BBQ seasoning or chicken seasoning also works very nicely.
  • This recipe uses cooked tinned chickpeas. It needs 2 tins but the exact weight of chickpeas I have found varies from tin to tin. Just use 2 drained tins and it will be fine.
  • Pat the chickpeas as dry as you possibly can, moisture is the enemy in this recipe.
  • If your chickpeas are still a little soft or chalky in flavour when you give them a taste test after cooking then put them back in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
  • Taste for seasoning. You can always add more salt or everyday seasoning after roasting if the flavour isn’t as pronounced as you would like.
  • Cool completely before serving or storing. Store in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to 2 weeks. You can re-crisp in the oven / air fryer for 5 minutes if they are a little soft after storing.
