Fried Chickpea "popcorn"

This is a little treat I created for some of my Vegetarian friends (you know who you are)

1 can (whatever size you want) Chickpeas aka Garbanzo beans Drained
1/4 C Cornstarch
1/4 C All purpose flour
salt and white pepper to taste
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Deep pan with light oil for frying at least 2-3 inches deep of oil should do. Heat to 350*

Mix all dry ingredients to combine.
roll chickpeas in flour mixture and shake off excess in a colander.

Deep fry in small batches until deep golden brown and drain on paper. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper if you like and enjoy while still hot.

You will get a nice crunch with these and they are nice and soft inside.

Add whatever heat to them you like I like a little habanero powder in the mix for a lot of kick
