3 Step Air fried " Chickpea Nuts"

By Krystal Brashear Publisher Macaroni Kid North Brevard & Macaroni Kid South Brevard November 8, 2024



This past week at a church meeting I tried these awesome snacks. I hadn't heard of them before but found the idea of " nuts" made with chick peas interesting so decided to give them a try. After the second handful and babbling to my not as amused husband about how tasty they were I decided to pick up a couple bags. Now, as a mother of six I am always thinking about the budget and try to make many things at home. So, off to try my hand at these new, slightly strange, but also delicious little snacks.

I was pleasantly  surprised that these 3 Step "chickpea nuts" took virtually zero work. Simply dump out and rinse a can of chick peas, season, and air fry, and for an added bonus these are SO much cheaper than the store bought ones! 

Happy snacking!
