Crunchy and Spicy Chickpeas

The crunchy and spicy chickpeas are perfect to enjoy as a snack or to serve for an appetizing aperitif. These chickpeas are easy to make: once soaked and cooked following the package instructions, they are seasoned with oil and spices; then I cooked them in the air fryer, but you can also bake them in the oven. After the final cooking, you will get very tasty crunchy and spicy chickpeas: you can’t stop at just one!
