hello internet pals! i am posting in the hopes that folks have some good lazy (but perhaps still somewhat healthy?) air fryer or microwave meal / snack recipes to share because i’ve fallen into a bit of a cooking rut lately and easy new recipes would definitely help inspire me.

Crispy chickpeas are my go to air fryer snack. Especially lazy since I don't even bother to preheat the fryer...

  • 1/2 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp cayene
  • pinch salt
  1. Drain and rinse chickpeas (no need to dry). Toss with olive oil and spices and dump into fryer basket.
  2. Put the basket in your non-preheated fryer. Turn it on, set to around 390°F (200°C), and cook for about 14 minutes total, shaking a couple of times. 
  3. Remove and add additional salt and pepper to taste.

Air fryer chickpeas are great! I add 1/2 tsp of chili powder, paprika, 1/4 tsp of cayenne, and a few dashes of chipotle spice for smokiness to mine.

Chipotle spice sounds like it would be fantastic in there, thanks for the idea!

i always have cans of chickpeas on hand, can't believe i haven't made these before!!

Save the drained water too, it's a great egg replacer! As long as you don't use pre-salted chickpeas at least.
