Spiced Fried Chickpeas
- 1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas (garbanzos)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- Drain and rinse chickpeas. Spread in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat dry.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring 2 in. oil to 350u0b0 to 375u0b0 (use a candy thermometer, or drop a chickpea in-when it sizzles, the oil is ready).
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Set aside.
- With a large spoon or strainer, lower chickpeas carefully into oil. (They will spatter.) Cook until chickpeas are hot and crispy (test 1 for doneness), about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon or strainer, transfer chickpeas to several layers of paper towels and drain 1 minute.
- Toss chickpeas with spice mixture. Serve immediately.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
