Rinse thoroughly and drain the chickpeas. Pat the chickpeas dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Toss the dried chickpeas with 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a mixing bowl.
Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF. If your model lacks a preheat setting, simply let it run for 3 minutes at the same temperature to warm up.
Place the chickpeas in the air fryer basket, spreading them out into a single layer.
