Ingredients
- 240 g chickpeas (400g/14 oz can drained)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder (or granules)
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast (also called nooch)
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Drain a can of chickpeas and dry on kitchen paper or a clean tea towel.
- Pour the chickpeas into a large bowl, add the oil and mix well.
- Add the herbs, nooch and garlic and season with salt and pepper, then mix well to coat.
- Add to your air fryer basket and shake into an even layer or if you have an air fryer with shelves, either spread out on a tray or straight on the mesh shelves.
- Cook at 180c/350f for 10 minutes, then turn up to 200c/400f for a further 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn and check at this point to see if they are just right, if not give them a few more minutes.
- Once cool store in a dry jar or airtight container and tuck in.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Air Fryers
Air fryers vary, so do keep an eye on these. Yours may need a little less or a little more time.
Storage
Roast chickpeas are best when just made but can be kept for a few days in a clean, dry jam jar or any other airtight container. You can add some kitchen paper to catch any moisture.
