spiced air fried chick peas

Tangentially related: has anyone tried air frying falafel?
with great success, both the pre made balls and the mix! they don’t need very much time even from the refrigerator like 4-5 minutes max at 400°.
With the mix it’s important to make as many as they specify in the directions so like it might say 16 and they only come out really small if you do 16 but they cook through and you don’t end up with soggy middle. Every time i try to cheat and make fewer larger ones they aren’t as good. I have never made them in the pan so idk if this is comparative.
here’s some pre made balls air fried with olive oil brushed onlol i didn’t mean for it to crop it like that but it’s hilarious

What if I don’t have an air fryer, nor the counter space to get an air fryer?
You can spread them out on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) and bake 30-40 min at 350°F, stirring every 10 minutes.

a really delicious and healthy vegan snack. these have a nice amount of fiber and some protein even if you only eat a quarter of them. goes great straight or on salads or in soups. Good in vegan chicken salad too.
drain a can of chick peas, add a teaspoon of garlic olive oil, a few tablespoons of spice and stir well. air fry 12 minutes at 400°f/200°c stirring twice. top with fresh herbs and serve hot!
These are seasoned with onion powder, garlic salt and cumin and topped with parsley.
I’ve done this basically any seasoning you can find on corn nuts. But it’s easier than working with hominy.

That looks so tasty. I was just horfing some hummus and now I want some crunch and that looks perfect. Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve recently started horfing hummus with veggies myself. I didn’t know they make so many kinds these days. Even that damn “hot honey” trend is available in hummus.
I plan to start making my own at home soon. It looks super easy. I just need a food processor/blender.

Those look so good! What kind of air fryer do you have? I don’t know if I keep buying ones that don’t circulate air well enough or if it’s something else, but between the two I’ve owned I haven’t gotten a nice crisp on anything

So i picked up these thin gauge wire mesh baskets at the dollar store for a couple bucks and i found that stacking them with one facing down and then the other facing up on top of the first gets things really crispy. I haven’t had much problem getting things crispy in general though even with my other containers and plates. It’s an Instant Pot standalone air fryer, few years old model.

I’ve tried it in a two-drawer Ninja. 10 minutes at 290C makes it crisp on the outside and soft in the middle, just the way I like it.

Ooh, oh my gosh that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the tip ^^

I think you misspelled “for a heart attack at 25”
I’m past 25 so I’m immune from this outcome

I basically air fry all my beans at this point, it totally turned me around on beans. I used to just think of them as a necessary evil to get my protein, but I’ll just eat air fried beans by the handful lol

I love making air fried chick peas. I usually put lemon pepper seasoning on them, just because I have a lot of it that I need to use, but it tastes great.

let’s say i want to go from dried. would tossing them in the electric pressure cooker for 45 minutes, natural release, get me a nice soft chickpea that’s too soft for this? that’s what we do for hummus and it’s smooth as something that’s really smooth after we toss it in the blender

yes i usually do an hour and manual release and they are plenty soft enough. I put 48oz of veggie stock in with 1lb of dried beans to really flavor maxx. to get them can firm you might try 30 minutes.

I’m not the greatest simile dude of all time, that’s my buddy C to whom I make tributes (who makes similes like some guy who is paid to make similes but really half-asses it just for fun)

This looks incredible! It’s good to see vegan dishes that aren’t trying to pretend to be meat. You can do things with chickpeas that no meat could even dream of imitating!
