A tasty way to serve garbanzo beans as a snack or appetizer – Pan Fried Cajun Chickpeas are highly addicting and very easy to make.

You seriously must try these.

Over the weekend I was introduced to these Cajun Fried Chickpeas. I was at a birthday party where a mom friend mentioned her addiction to “fried chickpeas”…hmmm…sounded good to me. When she told me how she made them I was instantly intrigued. Why haven’t I thought to do this myself?

It’s so simple people…and these babies make the best snack, appetizer or even better, topping for a salad (which I experienced for lunch today – holy yum!). I seasoned them up with a cajun seasoning I had on hand, but I’m thinking the sky is the limit as far as these go. I may have to play around with some ideas…

To prepare the chickpeas you lightly dust them in seasoned flour then saute them in a little bit of olive oil in a hot pan till they get nice and crispy. That’s it. Oh and sprinkle a little sea salt over them when they are done. Seriously addicting.

Thank you so much for sharing Juliet!
