Air Fried Garbanzo beans

2 years ago

Yum! Someone mentioned this on a recent post. I just made some since I had a can in my cupboard. They still aren't totally crunchy but I've eaten about half of them. ( : I put them back for more cook time.

Thanks to whoever posted about them. I just used salt on them and may try some other seasoning another time.

This recipe has cooking times and temps for various methods:

Cook chickpeas – Cook chickpeas until they are very dry and golden- crisp on the outside. Do this in a skillet at medium-high for 8 to 10 minutes, in the oven at 425°F for 20 to 30 minutes, in the air fryer at 375°F for 12 to 16 minutes.

I make them. And have learned a few tricks. I soak and cook first, but i like a crunchy exterior with just a bit of soft meal inside. Not completely dried. (i make them to eat right away or within 24hrs in the fridge) ...they never last more than right away unless i hide some for a garnish. You are reading what i have read. I experimented with many versions using up a full dried bag. Chickpeas/garbanzos. I was just reading about other beans last night. I'm in a remote location and after having 'chickpeas' on the grocery list for 3 weeks it has become a running joke. But just traveled to a nearby village today that had cans, whoot-whoot!. Just cans, boo. But on sale and 4 for 5bucks. I prefer to soak my own. The closest dried bean here is something called a 'raw yellow pea'. Looks like tiny garbanzos and round. Cooked them last night for dinner. Not really a split pea flavor. Longer cooking time. Planning on baking them tonight. Along with my can of chickpeas. Other beans i have tried were not at all like described in the recipes. Not sure if 'hippies' will just consume anything, lol. I find that type of thing in blogs all the time. Freeze drying are the crispy overpriced packaged snack you see in stores, and i know you know that. Freeze drying is not a home event. Thanks for bring this up. We shall brain-storm this. My favorite method so far...cooked chick peas, tender. Drain and dry. Important to dry on a kitchen towel and lay out for an hour or so....(right now mine are on a sheet pan above my wood stove on a drying shelf where i proof bread. Toasting in the oven dry, then tossing with a scant amount of good oil, then tossing in spice. I also like using avocado oil, tossing before roasting with spice. Avocado oil has a high heat tolerance. I'm still fussing and experimenting. I traveled, felling a bit silly bringing dried bags of beans from NYC, but surprised to not find any here locally. The first batch for a party were such a hit i kept roasting during the festivities. Bringing out more from the oven. Used up all my fridged cooked chickpeas. I'm still at a toss-up with using a good flavorful oil and spice before roasting. Heat will destroy some of the good qualities in some oils, but the spices i often use like some toasty heat... I do think it involves playing around with it. Small batches trying different methods.

adellabedella_usa, I made a roasted tomato salsa with the last of my tomato harvest this year. It was so good that, I've been buying tomatoes ever since and making a weekly batch. I eat it with sliced avocados, scrambled eggs, warmed corn tortillas, and occasionally chips.

Fried Chicken

My mother grew up in Arkansas and we visited it every summer for a month. My grandmother was a true "southern cook" - lots of fried chicken, fried pork chops, milk gravy over homemade biscuits, fried okra (SO good!), cakes, pies, jams and jellies. And yes, she was fat and she died of congestive heart failure...at age 89, having lived alone in her house till her final visit to a hospital. Southern food is wonderful but it is fattening, although my grandmother and one uncle-by-marriage were the only fat ones in the family. Of course, my grandfather died of a heart attack at age 72, but he was thin as a rail, even eating his wife's cooking! Go figure. I haven't eaten fried pork chops with milk gravy in years, but OMG it IS good. About once a year, I fry chicken. I just don't eat it every Sunday the way I did growing up. I think the downfall of the south where weight is concerned is soda. Remember, Coca Cola started in Atlanta. Southerners LOVE their soda pop and drink it in huge quantities. Many are Baptists who don't drink and they like the "lift" they get from all that caffeine. Living in KY, I see a LOT of obesity and poor lifestyle choices. When I go to pulmonary rehab at a local hospital, if I go early, I see the healthcare workers arriving for work in the morning...a 32 oz soda in their hand. And yes, they are very heavy.

chick peas (garbanzo beans)
Q
Comments (9)
I love chick peas & grow several for preservation purposes, but they are not well suited to my climate. They prefer cooler temperatures, and need dry conditions as the pods begin to mature... not the summer rains so frequent in my location. Hot weather will kill the plants, and rainfall (or overhead irrigation) will cause the seeds to mold/rot in the pod. Personally, I find the yield per area to be too low, especially given that so many other beans, peas, & cowpeas out-perform them.

I'm about to head to the store. Here's a recipe that looks interesting to me, not necessarily for the spices, but for the times and temps. In case anybody also wanted to try something with specific instructions. I don't trust myself to guess and get it right, I'm too dense 😉

Thanks for the suggestion!

Suzieue, I used my combo microwave/convection oven/air fryer and so I don't know what temperature it was on. I just get three settings to pick from with different timings. I used the 12 minute one and did that maybe 2 1/2 times. There are a lot of Youtube videos with specific recipes, though.

I wonder how they would turn out in just a convection oven - my cheap air fryer dies just before the 1 year mark & I wasn't impressed enough to buy another.

I have had and liked crispy wasabi chickpeas before and thought about making that, but never got around to it.

Raee, not sure but wouldn't it work like a regular oven? Maybe faster, though?

? I linked a recipe far upthread exactly for times and temps ?

I finally found one that says you can use died instead of canned. Why was I looking? Canned ones don't really crisp up. I'd already tried that last year. The new recipe I found said, don't cook the dry beans, but soak them overnight. Says it'll get crispier than canned.

Yes, you linked a recipe that had AIR FRYER time and temps. My lonk included times for regular oven, addressing a subsequent question.

I used canned beans and they crisped up but took a long time to do it and I had to keep checking to make sure they didn't burn.

Robb you can use died instead of canned I had so many thoughts going thru my head. Kinda like crunchy meal worms have died, and are not canned. Aren't sardines dead, and canned, too? Ohh the options.

I like your typo food. Everyone needs a lonk 😃

ladypat, diced. I hadn't thought of that. That sounds good too. I had something I had to take care of today so I didn't do the dried beans yet. Might be fun to do a comparison in my own kitchen
