Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Buffalo-Ranch Chickpeas.

   It’s time to arrange your chickpeas in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they have a little space to breathe.

   Cook them in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes, then give the basket a good shake to toss them around.

   Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, shake again, and then let them go for an additional 5 minutes.
