- Cook Chickpeas: Cook chickpeas until crispy (air fryer 390°F for about 10 minutes | oven 425°F for about 20 minutes | stovetop medium/high heat for about 7 minutes).
- Flavor: While chickpeas are still hot, toss them together with 2 Tbsp honey, 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, and ¼ tsp salt.
- Serve: Spread whipped feta onto a serving plate or bowl and top with hot honey chickpeas. Serve immediately with slices of good crusty bread or pita.
