Once cooked, transfer the hot chickpeas to a medium-sized bowl, generously spray with olive oil, and promptly toss with your chosen spices. These can be enjoyed at room temperature as a snack or sprinkled over your favorite salad.

Notes & Tips
- Seasoning Ideas:
- You can use whatever spices you want for these crispy chickpeas. They are a blank canvas, so get creative! Here are some ideas:
- Tip for crunchy chickpeas: It’s important to start with dry chickpeas or they won't get crisp and if they do, they won't stay crisp. Dry them well on paper towels, then if time permits leave them out an hour to hour dry before cooking.
- Storage: Store chickpeas in a jar at room temperature up to a week. If leftover chickpeas get soft you can pop them back in the air fryer 2 to 3 minutes to crisp them back up.
