Cornstarch Is The Secret Ingredient For Perfectly Crisp Chickpeas
By S. Ferrari
Whether you air-fry them, bake them, or fry them on the stovetop, adding cornstarch to your crispy chickpea recipe achieves a perfectly crunchy exterior and creamy interior.
Simply toss your chickpeas with a bit of cornstarch, oil, and your choice of seasonings. You can then either air fry them or bake them in an oven.
A light coating of cornstarch on chickpeas forms an airy molecular structure that stays crisp when fried, giving you reliably crunchy results every time.
Once you've got the perfect crunchy chickpeas, you can serve them with cocktails as a happy hour snack or make them part of a more substantial meal.
