Spiced Chickpea, Pumpkin & Spinach Salad and Air-Fried Spiced Chickpeas

My Spiced Chickpea, Pumpkin & Spinach Salad is a fantastic and flavourful meal. It’s simple to cook in the airfryer as I did in this recipe.

Toss pumpkin with 2 teaspoons (10ml) oil and place into the Airfryer basket and slide into the Airfryer and cook on 200’C for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine remaining oil with, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl or screw-top jar and shake until well combined or whisk together in a bowl.
Place spinach leaves in a bowl, top with onion and cheese and toss gently with the dressing.
o serve, individually plate the salad and then top with the pumpkin and chickpeas.

In a bowl or plastic bag, toss together the chickpeas, olive oil, paprika, cumin, the 1 teaspoon salt and the cayenne if you want the extra kick of heat.
Place the chickpeas in the Airfryer basket and slide into the Airfryer. Cook until the chickpeas are golden and slightly crisp, 10 minutes, or 15 minutes for really crisp.
Transfer the chickpeas to a bowl and serve warm or at room temperature or add to salads. Store in an airtight container.
