I bought my first can of chickpeas a couple months ago and they were just sitting in the cabinet, but now they're in the air fryer. Looking for healthy snack ideas. Thank you

This guy is great! He is very thorough and I appreciate the fact that he said Garbanzo beans and Chickpeas are really the same thing. Big help, as I did not know that. I also like that he takes his time and really shares so much about what he is doing and why. For example, he went over the oil he was using, but he made sure to mention the other oils you could use. Very helpful. I'm subscribing. Thumbs up!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Matt, I really really enjoyed watching you create these brilliant crunchy chickpeas and I absolutely adore chickpeas anyway, so a request for more recipes containing them would be greatly appreciated. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too.
i've been looking at different videos for roast/air fried chickpeas, to try and answer a question, which is, if using dried chickpeas, do I need to fully cook, or just pre soak. and bam, 1.40 into your video, you answered it already! Awesome. Pre soak only. I thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure. Thanks a lot mate, much less work. nb. My spice of choice will be chaat masala. Smells funky due to the black salt in it, but oh so tasty.
This looks great and healthy! I 'm going to try coating/seasoning them with wasabi powder. I love the wasabi peas sold in cans. Thank you for the video.

Ok, I hope that works with canned chickpeas. Can’t say I’ve tried that method; only air frying/roasting. Much quicker and the heat ensures crispness and browning. Cheers 👍
Thank you so much for this recipe. New to trying out Chickpeas and was looking everywhere how to roast dried chickpeas with an airfryer and I stumbled on your channel! Thanks a lot, gonna give this a go.
We used to go the Farmers Market (indoor) when I was young and instead of candy, I almost always got chi-chi beans (chick peas) for a snack. They were dry and hard, so I'm not sure if they were raw or not. Just bought a 4 lb. burlap bag of chick peas and will "soak" them the quick way with one of my Instant Pot pressure cookers then try to make some savory and sweet versions in my convection oven or NUWave oven from years ago. Happy cooking and thanks for the channel.
Just found this and gave it a try. The suggestions to try different spieces is solid. I threw some savory spices in and added a bit of powdered chili for a kick. Delicious! Definitely need to fine tune my air frying technique as they did not cook evenly. It actually helped me to identify the weaker and stronger points of my air fryer since some weren't quite done and others were a little more than I would have liked despite shaking them around at the half point. Still turned out delicious, though, and a relatively cheap snack! Thanks for the guide!
Mmmm... so good! And mouse approved too! Air fried some last night, chowed down, then left the remainder on the kitchen counter in a glass dish. This morning the crunchy garbanzos were gone, but not without a fair trade of a tiny deposit. 😃 (Little fella' will be kindly moved soon to a new country location)
It seems delicious 😍 I want to try it! But 390 Fahrenheit is not equal to 9 celsius, though... 9 celsius is 48,2 F, very cold indeed 390 F = 198 C, but I just use 200 C
WoW 😲😲 Love this snack. I don't have an fry air, can you do this on the stove in a pot? They look very crispi. Love garbanzos. Well I am watching from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Hello from California! If you have a standard oven, you can use that. Cook at 425 F and shake every once in a while until crispy. As for the stove, yes, you can cook them in a pot by shallow frying them in some oil. They will be a bit fattier that way, but definitely delicious. Happy cooking! 🙏
@@IWantToCook thank you so much for the answer to my question. I'm going to try it. Pleasant evening blessings 🙏 take care God bless you richly 🙏😘🌹🌺🌹🥰🍎🍉🥝
Ok I have a large Home Russo air fryer only 10 I put it on 15 minutes and slightly charged some but they were awesome to me kinda like camping thanks for the Idea. I used mesquite
I can’t wait to try this. I was going to buy a bag of these crispy chickpeas at the grocery store and they were $5.99! No way am I paying that much for chickpeas.
Oh Yeah…. I’m Trying it! ☺️ …. Just gotta get Some of those Beans.👍. I’m trying the Sweet then Salty. I luv Quick healthy snacks like this. 😁 I’m excited ! 😊
thank you so much, i have seen other receipes for these but they sound complicated. i did get some seasons, just couldnt find any for bbq. if you have any recommendations please share. thank you
Thanks for watching! I recommend experimenting with seasonings. For example, you could try paprika, a bit of brown sugar, garlic salt, cayenne, etc. That is part of the fun. Enjoy! 😋
Hi, there! Unfortunate I can’t because I don’t have any. What I would recommend is a search on Amazon for one that is top-rated (and you can often download a digital sample to see if you like it) or, if you fancy, a trip to your local bookstore or library to browse and buy/check out one in person. Cheers!
I just did and they worked out pretty well. I used garam masala. Think I might have cooked them too long as they are slightly hollow. Less time I think. Nonetheless it was definitely worth a go and thanks to your video I did. Made it my own thing like you said.
Ooh, I think the leftover seasoning I saved from almonds & pistachios will b great on these. Honey roasted, salted caramel churro, honey butter & bbq. Had rather excessive amts left & flavor was delicious so I saved for something exactly like this. Wee! Tried once in oven yrs ago but have been wanting to try in my air fryer.
Yes, but the caveat is they probably won’t be as crunchy and it could take more time. However, if your toaster oven has a convection function, that can make it more similar to an air fryer. Try using a slightly higher temp - maybe 425 F - monitor closely, and toss occasionally.
Yes! I’ve found that method works just as well (if not better) with dried beans that have been soaked. After soaking just shake off excess water and proceed the same way with a toss in oil and seasonings. Happy cooking and I hope you enjoy. 😀
Yes, that will help get the water off so they can be ready to be tossed in oil. I recommend that because water and oil don’t mix, and you want the oil to coat the chickpeas.
Yes, that should be fine. Avocado oil has a high smoke point, which means it should do well coating the chickpeas in the heat of the air fryer. Enjoy! 😀
I’m actually about to donate it. The device still works after some 5 years of significant use, but I recently purchased a larger one with more functions new in box at Goodwill.
Yes, the Chefman was a champ and served me well. I also like the simplicity of that one. The new (to me) model is called Gourmia and so far it’s been really good, too, if not a bit more complicated due to having more features and controls. I see those at Target for a decent price. It is a basket model, which I recommend.
@koalabrat Yes, its made with Chick Peas. People generally love it or hate it. Most Greek & Lebanese restaurants serve it with pita bread. Delicious! Also Chicken Liver is high in iron. I prefer them fried myself. I learned what foods were higher in iron when I donated Plasma for extra money. Donating depletes your iron.
One little tip ❤if you smash them flat using a flat spoon or your fingers they ll get same crunch n look flat n tasty like they sell in Asian stores..❤add chopped cucumber and chopped onion squeeze of lemon n eat with tortella chips as a spoon...they taste fantastic 😍
I wouldn't. I fear the chickpeas would end up being quite gummy and not taste great. That said, you can always try doing so with just a handful to see how you like them. Cheers.
You can also cook these in an oven, even a toaster oven. I would bake them at 425 F on an oven tray and shake every now and then. Start with 15-20 minutes and cook until they are crispy to your liking. Cheers!
Unfortunately I don’t believe that would work. I think you really need the high temperature that air frying brings to cook, not dehydrate, them. However, if you have an oven, you roast them in that. I’d go for 425 F, toss them every so often, and use convection function if available.
I’ve actually never tried that, so…. Possibly. When I want them extra crispy, I just cook them longer. Because the cornstarch is a possible alternative.
Had to come back and say thank you. I just made some. I have to watch my sodium so I can no longer eat chips, sunflower seeds, and pork ribs and I miss the crunch. I can control my salt and have my crunch back.
Likely not long enough cook time. There’s a tipping point of sorts where they are soft, still soft, and then remain soft…. Until they quickly crisp up. Just have patience and check often as you the machine runs toward the end of cooking time. You got this!
Thanks so much for your reply! OK will play around with the timing as I understand it differs from air fryer to air fryer. I did try a version without oil and it was soft all the way haha. Oil does really help.
I highly recommend at least a light coating of it. That’s really the idea of an air fryer: to crisp and sizzle the exterior (ie, fry it) via intense heat meeting a thin layer of fat. If you skip the oil, the food can turn out dry and crumbly. Thankfully you don’t need much; just enough to lightly coat the surface.
I just made these they make a good 12 AM snack
Right on!
Where they crispy all the way?
Haha. I’m eating these right now and it’s literally 12:00 am on the dot.
Not me reading this comment at 11:30pm thinking up quick air fryer snacks
Ohhh yes for those midnight munchies 😋 😁
I bought my first can of chickpeas a couple months ago and they were just sitting in the cabinet, but now they're in the air fryer. Looking for healthy snack ideas. Thank you

The crunch made me want to make some immediately!! Thank you for such a great snack idea!! 😊

Best flavor for these is both savory and sweet, like how you would flavor jicama. Chili powder, salt, honey and lime.
This looks great! Thanks for the recipe 🤩
Thanks for watching!
This looks great and healthy! I 'm going to try coating/seasoning them with wasabi powder. I love the wasabi peas sold in cans. Thank you for the video.

It seems delicious 😍 I want to try it!
But 390 Fahrenheit is not equal to 9 celsius, though... 9 celsius is 48,2 F, very cold indeed
390 F = 198 C, but I just use 200 C

Hey you might want to check your conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius, it’s not correct.

can you recommend a good air fryer cookbook?
Hi, there! Unfortunate I can’t because I don’t have any.

I’m using hominy for making my snack.
Thank you for the tip, I must try it soon.

Will definitely give this a go. I see that 195c and 20 minutes is the way to go.
Great! Hope you enjoy 😀

Those seasonings sound great. I hope you enjoy the air fried chickpeas!
You can also crush them up and use them for breading on air fried Krispy chicken
Omg I love this idea! Thanks 👍
can this be done in a toaster oven?
Yes, but the caveat is they probably won’t be as crunchy and it could take more time. However, if your toaster oven has a convection function, that can make it more similar to an air fryer. Try using a slightly higher temp - maybe 425 F - monitor closely, and toss occasionally.
I’m trying them now,I hope I don’t get gas
making this tomorrow morning
Hope you enjoy! 👍
Can I make this with fresh chickpeas soaked overnight.
Absolutely. In fact, that’s how I do it these days. Enjoy!
when only soaked same method? thank you!
Yes! I’ve found that method works just as well (if not better) with dried beans that have been soaked. After soaking just shake off excess water and proceed the same way with a toss in oil and seasonings. Happy cooking and I hope you enjoy. 😀
Im a vegetarian and these are awesome for getting enough protein. I love seasoning them like tacos.
Fantastic!
Is it smart to dry them on a paper towel after they are wrinced?
Yes, that will help get the water off so they can be ready to be tossed in oil. I recommend that because water and oil don’t mix, and you want the oil to coat the chickpeas.
Would avocado oil be okay?
Yes, that should be fine. Avocado oil has a high smoke point, which means it should do well coating the chickpeas in the heat of the air fryer. Enjoy! 😀
do you still have the same air fryer? 6qt?
I’m actually about to donate it. The device still works after some 5 years of significant use, but I recently purchased a larger one with more functions new in box at Goodwill.
@@IWantToCook what brand?
and do you (as a chef) still recommend the chefman?
Yes, the Chefman was a champ and served me well. I also like the simplicity of that one. The new (to me) model is called Gourmia and so far it’s been really good, too, if not a bit more complicated due to having more features and controls. I see those at Target for a decent price. It is a basket model, which I recommend.
Most people don't realize Chick Peas are also very high in Iron. They have about 25% iron per serving.
That’s fantastic. Especially important for those on a plant-based diet. Cheers!
Really? I'm am so low on iron and don't want to go to the dr for a infusion. I'm off to cook these now
@koalabrat Eat more Hummus! Yum!
@@WurdNinja007 for iron?
@koalabrat Yes, its made with Chick Peas. People generally love it or hate it. Most Greek & Lebanese restaurants serve it with pita bread. Delicious! Also Chicken Liver is high in iron. I prefer them fried myself. I learned what foods were higher in iron when I donated Plasma for extra money. Donating depletes your iron.
A little over a week ago a friend got me an air fryer that's like an oven. I'm loving all it can do! I'll be making these garbanzo later tonight.
Fantastic! Hope you enjoy 😀
I think I cooked them a tad bit long. LOL!
Doh! We've all been there. Cooking is all about experimentation. I know your next batch will be better :)
One little tip ❤if you smash them flat using a flat spoon or your fingers they ll get same crunch n look flat n tasty like they sell in Asian stores..❤add chopped cucumber and chopped onion squeeze of lemon n eat with tortella chips as a spoon...they taste fantastic 😍
Thanks for the tip!
wow! Thank you. I'll try these later :)
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy 😀
Thank youuu !
You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏
should I hear popping noises while it's in there?
Yes, that’s normal 👍
I love it when a garbanzo beans on my face
I'll make sure to pick up some extra cans next time I go shopping
Good idea! They are now a staple in my pantry. Enjoy!
Could I do a spray oil (like Pam spray) instead since regular oil has so many calories per TBSP?
I wouldn't. I fear the chickpeas would end up being quite gummy and not taste great. That said, you can always try doing so with just a handful to see how you like them. Cheers.
My air fryer has a grate for the bottem should i put tin foil in the bottem?
So does mine. I don't normally put foil in; I think the grate help with air movement.
I would love to try these but I don’t own a air fryer. So how can I make them otherwise? Please tell.
You can also cook these in an oven, even a toaster oven. I would bake them at 425 F on an oven tray and shake every now and then. Start with 15-20 minutes and cook until they are crispy to your liking. Cheers!
Thank you so much I really appreciate you guys for all of your healthy food tips.
Do I need to dry them before air frying?
Just pat dry, then lightly coat in oil and seasonings. Enjoy!
Yummy
Wow
Ramen noodle flavor pack. Your choice of shrimp, beef, chicken, or butter...
I don't have an air fryer can I use a dehydrator?
Unfortunately I don’t believe that would work. I think you really need the high temperature that air frying brings to cook, not dehydrate, them. However, if you have an oven, you roast them in that. I’d go for 425 F, toss them every so often, and use convection function if available.
Would sprinkling a tablespoon of corn starch in the bowl with the seasonings make them crispier?
I’ve actually never tried that, so…. Possibly. When I want them extra crispy, I just cook them longer. Because the cornstarch is a possible alternative.
Had to come back and say thank you. I just made some. I have to watch my sodium so I can no longer eat chips, sunflower seeds, and pork ribs and I miss the crunch. I can control my salt and have my crunch back.
Thrilled to hear you like it! Thank you for watching and commenting. All my best to you!
Mine still seems to be a tad soft on the inside. Any idea why? Is it the moisture on the outside or I didn't air fry it long enough?
Likely not long enough cook time. There’s a tipping point of sorts where they are soft, still soft, and then remain soft…. Until they quickly crisp up. Just have patience and check often as you the machine runs toward the end of cooking time. You got this!
Thanks so much for your reply! OK will play around with the timing as I understand it differs from air fryer to air fryer.
