Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Place the seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chickpeas are crispy and golden.
