Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/3 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, combine chickpeas, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and water over medium-high. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and liquid is very thick, about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil overmedium (a chickpea should sizzle slightly when added). With a slotted spoon, strain off as much sugar syrup as possible, then transfer chickpeas to oil. Fry, gently shaking skillet to prevent chickpeas from sticking, until dark golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels. Immediately season with salt; let cool completely.
