Ingredients

For the chili lime seasoning:

  • 1 tbsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cilantro
  • 1/4 tsp. or less cayenne pepper
  • Zest of 1/2 small lime

For the chickpeas:

  • 15 oz. can chickpeas
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

For the chili lime seasoning:

  • In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Set aside while preparing the chickpeas.

For the chickpeas:

  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Then, pat them dry and place in a bowl.
  • Squeeze the lime juice onto the chickpeas and toss.
  • Add 1 1/2 tbsp. of the chili lime seasoning to the chickpeas. Toss again to evenly coat them.
  • Place the chickpeas in the air fryer, evenly spreading them out into one layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches.
  • Cook the chickpeas for 18-20 minutes at 400 degrees, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Season the air fried chickpeas with sea salt, to taste. Then, stir up the chickpeas one last time to coat them with any seasoning that may have dropped to the bottom of the air fryer basket.
  • Cool the chickpeas completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Notes

Store extra chili lime seasoning in an airtight container to use in other recipes.
