Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas for the best results. Soaking them overnight or for at least 8 hours will help them cook evenly and reduce their cooking time.
  • Be sure to drain and rinse the chickpeas well before cooking them.
  • Toss the chickpeas in a mixture of olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper before air frying them. This will help them get crispy and flavorful.
  • Air fry the chickpeas in a single layer so that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the air fryer basket, the chickpeas will not get crispy.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the chickpeas cook evenly.
  • Serve the air fryer ranch chickpeas immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a snack.
