CRISP SPICED CHICKPEAS



Crisp Spiced Chickpeas image

Canned chickpeas bear a closer resemblance to cooked-from-dried than any other canned bean: They're sturdy enough to withstand additional cooking without falling apart. Even after a 20-minute sizzle in a skillet with olive oil, they stay intact, their exteriors turning crunchy while their insides become creamy. Serve these as a party snack instead of roasted nuts, and you'll have a hit. (The New York Times)

CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES



Crispy Spiced Chickpeas With Peppers and Tomatoes image

This vegetarian sheet-pan supper has verve to spare. You will need two sheet pans to make it, but that's about all the kitchen equipment necessary. On one of them, spice-coated chickpeas are roasted until golden and crisp, while juicy peppers, tomatoes and onions caramelize on the other. Handfuls of bright fresh herbs and sweet pomegranate seeds add color and crunch. Serve this by itself for a light dinner, or with couscous or rice for something more substantial.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
6 fresh thyme sprigs
2 red, orange or yellow bell peppers (or a combination), stems and seeds removed, sliced lengthwise 1/4-inch thick
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, sliced
2 jalapeños, stem and seeds removed, sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1 cup fresh herbs (any combination of parsley, cilantro, mint or dill)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Couscous or rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees and arrange racks on the top and bottom thirds of the oven.
  • In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated. Spread onto a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer and top with 3 thyme sprigs.
  • On a second sheet pan, combine bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños and remaining thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread vegetables into one layer.
  • Place chickpea pan on the bottom rack and vegetables on the top rack and roast for 10 minutes. Switch pan positions. Roast chickpeas until crisped but still tender, about 5 minutes, and roast vegetables until golden brown, about 10 minutes. If the vegetables are tender but not browned, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize. Discard thyme sprigs.
  • While the chickpeas and vegetables roast, whisk lemon juice, garlic and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  • Arrange vegetables on a large platter and drizzle with half the dressing, then top with crispy chickpeas, fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything. Serve with couscous or rice, if you like.

CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS



Crispy Spiced Chickpeas image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 medium dried arbol chiles
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Two 19-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
Vegetable oil, for frying

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect crispy texture, make sure to drain the chickpeas thoroughly and pat them dry before tossing them with the spices.
  • For a more intense flavor, try using a combination of ground cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the spice mix.
  • To make the chickpeas extra crunchy, roast them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Keep an eye on the chickpeas while they are roasting to prevent them from burning.
  • Once the chickpeas are crispy, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

This recipe for crispy spiced chickpeas is a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on its own or added to salads, soups, and grain bowls. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is a great option for busy weeknights or when you need a quick and healthy snack.
