Garbanzo Beans (ChickPeas) Snack

This snack is semi-healthy and so good.  It is fried, but if you fry it in good oil, it maintains the healthy aspect.  I mix a variety of seasonings, quickly deep fry these little beans and season them.  They are full of protein, lightly coated and full
of flavor!  These are really good in a salad!

Garbanzo Beans (ChickPeas) Snack

1 can Garbanzo Beans - drained completely
1 cup flour + 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1" Sunflower or Vegetable Oil heated for frying

Seasonings Mix:  (Mix in large bowl)
    1 Tbsp. Lawry's Seasoned Salt
    1 tsp. ground pepper
    1/4 tsp. chili powder
    1 tsp. Badia Complete Seasoning

Drain Garbanzo Beans completely.  Spread out evenly onto a paper towel to drain.  In a separate bowl, mix flour and cornstarch.  Drop the beans into the flour mixture and shake lightly to coat.  (I do 1/2 can at a time). 

Shake the excess flour off lightly in a colander and drop into about 1" of oil.  Fry for about 4 or 5 minutes, just long enough to get them lightly browned and crispy.  Remove onto a paper towel for just a minute and then drop them into the seasoning mix and lightly toss to coat.  Leave in the bowl until you add the second batch so that the seasonings are distributed evenly.

To Store:  place in a covered bowl in fridge.   They won't be as crispy once they are refrigerated, but they still taste wonderful.

Yummy!
