Notes

TIPS
  • Drying the chickpeas thoroughly helps them crisp up.
  • For extra crunch, air-fry the chickpeas alone for 5 minutes before adding the broccoli.
  • Adjust spices to taste or use your favorite seasoning blend.
  • Keep the oil to a minimum for a lighter, weight-loss-friendly version.
STORAGE
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for the best texture.
