Crispy Spicy Chickpeas Recipes

CRISPY SPICY ROASTED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
• Mix drained and rinsed chickpeas (15 oz.), olive oil (1 tablespoon), cumin (1/2 teaspoon), cayenne pepper (1/8 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon) in a medium bowl until all chickpeas are well-coated.
• Spread chickpeas on prepared baking sheet evenly so they aren't touching.
• Roast for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.
• Turn heat off, and keep chickpeas in the oven until cool. (I recommend at LEAST an hour). If you have an electric oven, I recommend cracking the door open (see notes for more info about this!).
• Store chickpeas in an airtight container or jar for up to 5 days.

CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• 1. Place the chiles in a spice grinder and grind until fine. Add the salt, lime zest and sugar. Pulse a few more times until well combined and set aside.
• 2. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on paper towels and pat dry. Heat 3/4 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed shallow pot or small Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Carefully add the chickpeas in small batches, about a cup per batch, to the oil. (The oil will bubble up for a few seconds.) Fry, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray and immediately sprinkle with some of the chile salt. Cool slightly and serve.
• Chef's Note: The chickpeas can be fried 2 to 3 days ahead of time. Cool without the chile salt and store in a sealed plastic container. Before serving, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 400-degree F oven until sizzling and crispy. Season with the chile salt, cool and serve.
