Chickpea Fries

SAVE & SHARE:

Good Morning Texas on WFAA TV here in Dallas asked me to highlight the latest food trends.   In addition to the ancient grain craze (chia squeeze pouches, sprouted seed chips, etc.) it seems ‘exotic’ flours are also popular.  If you go to any natural food store you’ll see Black Bean Flour, Almond Flour, Rice Flour and Flaxseed Flour.  I experimented with chickpea flour (aka Garbanzo) and found these Chickpea Fries delectable to eat.  Packed with protein, chickpea fries are simple to make and a hit with kids.  My 3-year-old loved this test batch I made. I drizzled a smidge of truffle oil into the batter, then dusted them with parmesan after I pan fried them. If you’d like to see the video tutorial, click on the link above. Thanks for stopping by and please let me know what recipe you’d like to see next!
