Chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber 🌱 These crispy ones can be used as a salad topper, served on top of rice, or eaten on their own!
I love air fryer recipes since they require minimal time and effort. Chickpeas are super versatile and one of my favorite ways to cook them is to get them extra crunchy. This vegan recipe can be transformed into anything from a snack to the topping of a main dish. This will quickly become your favorite protein-packed snack!
