Measurements:

15½ oz can chickpeas
drained
½ tsp ras el hanout spice
½ tsp sumac
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp kosher salt
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

1Rinse the chickpeas well in cold water to remove excess sodium, then place on a paper towel lined tray to thoroughly dry so they can crisp in the oven.
2Insert the oven rack into position 3 Down. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 400°F, for 17 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
3Combine the ras el hanout, sumac, garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Add the chickpeas and lemon juice and stir to combine. Add the olive oil and stir to coat. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer, in the air fry basket.
4Once preheated, place the roasting pan on the rack to catch any drips during cooking. Place the basket into position 1 and air fry for 17 minutes. When the oven signals, rotate and shake the basket and continue cooking.
5The chickpeas should be browned and crisp. If not, press A Bit More.
Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
6Cool the chickpeas before serving.
