Vegan Crispy Spiced Chickpeas

Chickpeas aren't just for salads and curries anymore. Tossed in oil and cooked, these beans become ultracrisp and deeply nutty in flavor—the perfect cocktail snack. Most recipes call for roasting chickpeas in the oven, but we found they never became crisp enough to satisfy us. Switching to the stovetop and frying the chickpeas in olive oil gave us the big crunch factor we were seeking in our snack. A quick toss in a sweet-and-savory mixture of sugar and smoked paprika made our chickpeas incredibly addictive. Make sure to dry the chickpeas thoroughly with paper towels before placing them in the oil. In order to get crisp chickpeas, it's important to keep the heat high enough to ensure the oil is simmering the entire time. After about 12 minutes, test for doneness by removing a few chickpeas and placing them on a paper towel to cool slightly before tasting. If they are not quite crisp yet, continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, checking occasionally for doneness.
