Theoretically, yes. However, if you want them crispy, you aren’t going to get it as crispy without oil. However, they will still roasted. If you do make them oil free, we do recommend spritzing with water.
Why are my chickpeas not crispy?
If you want super crispy chickpeas you want to make sure you remove as much water as possible and also rotating your chickpeas while cooking.
The chickpeas on the outer edges tend to cook faster, so you want to make sure you move them around.
Also it’s important to note that chickpeas won’t stay crispy usually. So if you don’t eat them that day, you likely will need to crisp them up again in an air fryer if you want them crispy again.
What seasoning should I use on these easy roasted chickpeas?
Great creative! We love BBQ seasoning and other blends like Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute! The chickpeas take on pretty much any flavor so you can get super inspired with your spice cabinet!
Spicy chickpeas could be chili powder and smoked paprika. If you are making curry bowls, you can use curry powder. Italian seasoning like rosemary and thyme make great blends too!
