Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Spread on a kitchen paper-lined tray and pat very dry — this is key to crispiness.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over high heat. Add the chickpeas in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 2 min until they start to crisp, then toss and cook 4–5 min more until golden and crispy all over.
- Remove from heat. Immediately toss with smoked paprika, salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Spoon the Greek yogurt into a bowl. Top with the crispy chickpeas. Serve straight away so they stay crunchy.
Recipe notes
Dry chickpeas well before air frying for real crunch.
