Instructions
CHICKPEA PREP:
Drain the chickpeas well and rinse them under cool water. Give them a shake to rid of any excess water. Place them onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet in a single layer and gently pat them dry. Let them sit out and air dry for about 30 minutes—up to an hour.
Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl and add the hot sauce in addition to the spices listed. Stir well to make sure the chickpeas are evenly coated.
FOR OVEN-BAKED:
Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Place the seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet and pop them into the oven for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, check on chickpeas and, if they aren't crispy enough, pop them back in for another 10. Keep doing this until you reach a nice golden crisp.
Remove the chickpeas from the oven and set them aside to cool—they'll get crispier as they sit.
FOR AIR FRIED:
Bring the seasoned chickpeas to the air fryer basket and give it a shake. Make sure the chickpeas are in a single layer.
Air fry them at 400º F for about 10-12 minutes, giving the basket another shake at the 5 minute mark. Check on the crispiness and if they need a bit more time, pop them back in for 3-5 minutes.
TACO ASSEMBLY:
Add your Greek yogurt or sour cream, then top it with the chickpeas and your favorite taco toppings!
