Ingredients
- 1 lb. North Bay Produce French beans trimmed
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas rinsed
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 TBSP Olive Oil for Chickpeas
- 2 TBSP Olive Oil for Grill Pan
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Air Frying the chickpeas: Make sure that your chickpeas are dry so that they will get crisp in the air fryer. First, rinse and drain the chickpeas. Then, let them dry on paper towels (usually for about 45 minutes) Air fry the chickpeas for 12 to 14 minutes at 380 degrees, shaking the basket every few minutes. When they are crunchy and golden brown, they’re done.
- Season the chickpeas: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Pour the chickpeas into a bowl, spritz with olive oil, and season with spices while they are still hot.
- Preparing the French Beans: In a grill pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and add in the French beans. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until charred or barely tender (approximately 3-4 minutes).
- Assembly: In a serving dish, toss the French beans with crispy chickpeas mixture and serve!
