About Fried chickpeas

Fried chickpeas are a versatile and flavorful dish rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, often enjoyed as a snack, salad topping, or side. Made by frying cooked chickpeas in oil until they're golden and crispy, the dish can be seasoned with a variety of spices like paprika, cumin, garlic powder, or chili flakes for added depth. Chickpeas themselves are a nutrient-rich legume, packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, making them a heart-healthy source of energy. However, frying them in oil increases calorie density and fat content, which may be a concern for those watching their intake. Opting for a lighter cooking oil or air-frying can help make this snack a more balanced option while retaining its satisfying crunch and bold flavor.
