Equipment

1 air fryer
1 Bowl

Ingredients

15 oz chickpeas canned, drained and patted dry
1.5-2 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tbsp taco seasoning
1 small lime juiced

Instructions

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Pat dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. You can leave on counter on paper towels for 30 minutes to really dry them out for best results.
Then dump them into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss so they're coated. Sprinkle taco seasoning on and stir so they're well coated.
Squeeze 1/2 of lime on to coated chickpeas. Preheat air fryer at 390 F for 5 minutes.
Pour them into your air fryer basket. If your basket is small make in two batches so they don't overlap too much so they get really nice and crispy.
Cook at 390 degrees for 12 minutes flipping/tossing halfway through cook time.
This timing will crisp the outside and leave center tender. If you want the whole thing crispy cook for a few minutes longer. Pour on paper towels and allow to cool before eating, they will be hot.
