For extra crispiness, ensure the chickpeas are as dry as possible before air frying. Feel free to experiment with different spice blends. Chili powder, curry powder, or Italian seasoning can add unique twists. Store leftover air-fried chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crunch.
