Garlicky, lemony fried chickpeas are an addictive summertime snack.

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil
  • chickpeas
  • garlic
  • lemon
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pan or skillet, heat the oil to shimmering.

  2. 2

    Drain the chickpeas and rub them gently with a paper towel to dry. (You don't have to go overboard.)

  3. 3

    Heat the chickpeas in the oil until they're browned to your liking, about 10 minutes. (I like to keep them going until they start to pop.)

  4. 4

    Add the garlic and lemon slices and stir. Cook about 1 minute more.

  5. 5

    Remove from the heat and top with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Eat them while they're hot and crispy.
