>> aka: air fryer chickpeas, basket chickpeas, air fried chickpeas, crunchy chickpeas in the air fryer
>> servings: 4
>> time: 25 min
>> slack: narrow — they are glass-crisp for about an hour and chewy by morning, and putting them back in the basket only half brings it back
>> washing-up: the basket, the bowl
>> capacity: 4 — one 5.7 L air fryer basket, roast, air fry
>> keeps: not at all — what is left by morning is a chewy bean, which is fine in a salad and no longer a snack

>> step: Written for a preheated 5.7 L basket. From cold, add three minutes. A 3.5 L basket is two batches, not more minutes.
The towel does the first drying and the moving air does the rest.

>> step: roll dry in a towel, then toss with oil in the bowl
Roll @cooked chickpeas{1 1/2%cups}(255 g; drained, from one 15-oz tin) in a towel until the loose skins come away, then toss in a #bowl{} with @olive oil{1%Tbs}(15 mL).

>> step: roast in the basket 200°C (400°F), 12–15 min, one layer
Roast @&(~1)dried chickpeas{} in a preheated #air fryer basket{} at 200°C (400°F) for ~air fry{13%min}, one layer.

>> step: toss the basket twice — they rattle like gravel, not thud
Toss @&(~1)chickpeas{} by shaking the basket twice.

>> step: toss hot in the same bowl, then leave them uncovered
Toss @&(~1)crisp chickpeas{} with @smoked paprika{1%tsp}, @ground cumin{1/2%tsp}, @cayenne{1/8%tsp}, @kosher salt{1/2%tsp}.

>> step: A sheet tray takes 35 minutes and half of them stay soft. The basket dries them while it browns them.
No 20-minute air-dry here. The draught does the drying the towel started.
