Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat dry. Transfer the chickpeas to a medium bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt and pinches of your preferred spice, if using. Toss to coat.

Spread the chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes (I do 12), tossing halfway, or until crispy.

Enjoy immediately or store at room temperature for up to 2 days.
