Add these crispy, “cheesy,” garlicky chickpeas to salads and grain bowls, and grab them when you're looking for a protein-packed snack on-the-go. The key to getting these really crunchy is the two-step air frying process. Experiment with different flavor profiles: Try crushed red pepper flakes, curry powder, seasoned salt, or flavored-bagel seasoning.

Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
15½ oz, rinsed, drained, and patted dry

Transfer chickpeas to a medium bowl, and lightly coat with cooking spray. Toss with nutritional yeast and garlic salt. Return to basket and spread in an even layer.
