Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned?

Absolutely, Just soak 1/2 cup dried chickpeas overnight, then boil until tender (about 45 minutes). Dry them EXTRA well - they'll take a few extra minutes in the air fryer too.

Why didn't mine get crispy?

Three likely culprits: not dry enough chickpeas, overcrowding the basket, or skipping the mid-cook shake. Also, newer air fryers might need 2-3 extra minutes.

Can I make these in the oven?

You bet, Bake at 400°F on a parchment-lined sheet for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway. They won't get quite as crisp, but still delicious.

Are these gluten-free/vegan?

Naturally both, Just check your spice blends if you're super strict - some pre-mixed spices contain sneaky additives.

How do I keep them from popping in the air fryer?

A few rogue poppers are normal. Just make sure they're completely dry, and don't go above 390°F. A quick shake usually stops any jumpers.
