Fried Chickpeas

These crispy fried chickpeas are a fantastic vegan snack that provides a satisfying alternative to crisps or nuts. By frying the chickpeas until golden and then tossing them in a fragrant blend of smoked paprika and lime zest, you create a savoury treat that is packed with texture and a gentle heat. They are best enjoyed warm, making them a brilliant addition to a drinks party or a crunchy topping for summer salads.

Quick to prepare using store-cupboard essentials, this recipe relies on drying the chickpeas thoroughly to ensure maximum crunch. The combination of earthy spices and zesty lime makes this a versatile dish that fits perfectly into a healthy, plant-based lifestyle. Serve them in small bowls for guests to graze on, or keep a batch ready as a protein-rich garnish for soups.
