Have you ever tasted fried chickpeas?! Crispy, crunchy, salty and spicy…all of my favorites together in an irresistible homemade snack. They’re beyond simple to make, and thanks to my new favorite kitchen gadget, they’re also not bad for you. Which may be a dangerous fact to share because if you’re like me, you won’t be able to stop eating them! 

You probably remember me raving about my new air fryer on snapchat (username WaitingonMartha) and when I recently set out to make classic chicken wings for Super Bowl Sunday.  The wings were such a hit, with none of that added guilt since the air fryer works with no oil (I know, I couldn’t believe it either). 

With a focus on healthier eating at our house, I still find myself wanting that good salty crunch to snack on, and having an easy homemade snack like these spicy fried chickpeas (read: no preservatives!) is exactly what I need to satisfy the snack craving whenver it hits.  That being said, I’d say making these homemade fried chickpeas was another successful run with the air fryer, though I’m still itching to delve deeper into my Air Fryer Cookbook to try more recipes soon, too.  Tell me friends, are any of you as hooked on this magical kitchen gadget as I am??  Truly, MKR
