Something I have been loving lately is topping my salad bowls with air fryer crispy chickpeas! They are so easy to make and versatile too. You can customize the recipe with any flavor profile by switching up the spices, making them salty or sweet. Eat by the handful, or top on a salad. I have simplified the recipe using just sea salt and pepper, putting them on a kale caesar. This 5-spice concoction is my favorite!
