🧂 Ingredients

1 Sort through the chickpeas and remove any stones or grit. Rinse well. Place the
chickpeas in a bowl and add enough water to cover by a few inches. Cover with a
bamboo mat or a towel. Set aside at a room temperature to soak overnight or for
at least 8 hours.
2 Preheat an air fryer to 325°F.
3 Drain the chickpeas well. Spread them on an absorbent towel and pat dry with
another towel.
4 Toss the chickpea crumbs with olive oil and salt, then add to your air fryer
basket.
5 Air fry for 20-30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking to prevent the
chickpeas from sticking together or burning on one side.
6 Remove the chickpeas from the air fryer basket and place on a paper towel to
cool. Once cooled slightly, place them in a food processor and pulse until you
have a fine bread crumb consistency.
7 Make sure bread crumbs are dry and cooled before storing in an airtight
container in the cupboard for up to 3 months.
