Remove the chickpeas from the air fryer and serve.
In an oven:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas then spread them on paper towels and pat well to dry.
Add the chickpeas to a bowl then drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Toss well to combine.

Notes
Drying the chickpeas as much as possible will help them become extra-crispy.
Experiment with dry seasonings — you'll need about a teaspoon total.
Stir together the dry seasoning ingredients in a small bowl before sprinkling over the chickpeas for the most uniform distribution.
