Za’atar seasoning is a blend of herbs and toasted sesame seeds typically associated with Middle Eastern cuisine. In this dish, it combines really well with the Cajun seasoning to give the roasted chickpeas a flavor profile that is savory and slightly spicy.

Instructions

1. Place rinsed chickpeas in a medium bowl. Toss with lemon juice, Za’atar seasoning, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Place chickpeas in an air fryer basket and roast at 400 degrees F for 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
3. Carefully remove from air fryer, allow to cool, and enjoy. (These won’t stay crispy for a long time because we aren’t using any oil, so serve them shortly after preparation.)
