OMG Fried Chick Peas

**shoiji** · 09-10-2011, 05:49 PM

Well, I finally decided to make some fried chick peas. Had seen it done awhile back on a cooking show and always thought it was something to try.

It definately helps with the junk food craving. Also a nice replacement for potato chips which I cannot eat because of allergies.

Here is the recipe is anyone is interested:

Anyone else make this or grew up eating them. Great to have another way to eat chick peas!

Mahalo - those sound sooo good.

**Ceashels** · 09-10-2011, 06:52 PM

That sounds fabulous!

I open a can, drain, rinse and then coat with a little oil and seasoning then roast them in the oven till their crisp. Wonderful with Old Bay seasoning.

What a great idea. I've been looking for a snack to take to work, and since the recipe says they will keep....

I don't like cumin though, so I would probably use garlic and rosemary. That would make cardboard good.

Yum! I do like Ceashels and bake them in the oven with Caribbean jerk seasoning.

If you are ever in Providence, AS220 (it's a small eclectic restaurant) has great Crispy Chickpeas.

So made another batch this morning for breakfast. Within two days I have eaten two cans of chickpeas. Guess it is still frugal? lol Saw a recipe for fried little white beans, basically the same idea but using dried sage as an ingredient.

yum. i just made them with salt and white pepper. yum.

**shoiji** · 09-12-2011, 06:13 PM

Yup, just made fried little white beans with sage, thyme, crushed garlic, salt & pepper. I am going to have to start buying mass amounts of bagged beans if I keep up with this habit. My canned bean stockpile is going quickly.

Yes the bags will save you tons. Then you can crisp them, make hummus, veggie patties ....oh the list is endless. I love your combos will have to try those in the next few days. Thanks for the suggestions they all sound so good.
