Ingredients

For Chickpeas

• 2 cups chickpeas drained
• Spray oil
• 1 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

For Serving

• 2 oz. cheddar cheese cubed
• 1/4 cup raw almonds
• 3 oz. jerky sliced into bite sized pieces

Instructions

• Heat air fryer to 380ºF and add drained chickpeas to basket. Set timer for 15 minutes. Close air fryer and fry chickpeas for 5 minutes (this will dry the chickpeas). Shake basket and spray chickpeas with cooking spray. Continue to fry for 10 minutes longer, shaking basket every 5 minutes for even cooking.
• Stir together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle half over chickpeas. Air fry for 2 minutes longer. While chickpeas are still hot, transfer to a bowl and stir in remaining seasoning to coat.
• Divide chickpeas between 4 light blue MPOF snack container compartments. Add cheese, jerky and almonds to the other 4 compartments.
