Crispy Chickpeas

Ingredients

  • 3 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • 3 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry
  • 11/2 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil to 350°. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with the coriander and cumin. Add the flour and toss until the chickpeas are coated; transfer to a sieve and tap off the excess flour.

2. Add one-third of the chickpeas at a time to the hot oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chickpeas to the paper towels to drain and sprinkle liberally with salt. Let the vegetable oil return to 350° between batches. Let the chickpeas cool, then transfer them to a bowl and serve.
