Chickpea Fries Recipe

Yield: depends on how high and thick you make your fries

Ingredients

• 4 cups of water
• 2 cups chickpea flour
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon of seasoning (we used Souvlaki Seasoning from Bulk Barn, but you can either skip this ingredient or use virtually any seasoning here)
• 2 cups of vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Place the 4 cups of water into a pot and bring to a boil. Combine all the dry ingredients together. Pour the chickpea flour mixture into the water and whisk vigorously. Aim for the consistency of polenta. My arms were too sore so I transferred everything into my stand mixer and mixed it on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Taste a little bit of the chickpea batter to make sure it’s seasoned to your liking.
2. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Pour the chickpea mixture onto a baking sheet and spread evenly. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
3. After 30 minutes, take a knife and gently cut the mixture into your desired fries size. Aim for long rectangular pieces.
4. Add vegetable oil in a fairly deep pan, and set the heat to medium-high. Once the oil is hot enough, use tongs to gently place about 8 pieces into the pan at a time to fry. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5. Once crispy, take them out and rest them on a paper-towel-lined plate.
6. Transfer to a serving dish and eat immediately!

Note: The minimum seasoning is salt and cumin. Add other seasonings to your taste.
