Its time for savory snacking. Chickpea flour fries. And that gorgeous color is because of some roasted Kabocha mixed in the batter.

I baked up the whole Kabocha the other day.. just like this whole Roasted butternut. Scrubbed it clean, wiped it, punched a few knife holes in it and put it in the oven at 330 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. Sliced it in half. Scooped out the inards and we are good to go. Used some to make Kabocha rice and lentil crepes and some in these fries.

These Chickpea fries are awesome finger food. They can be frozen to store, baked or grilled with or without oil or pan fried. I added ranch seasoning to the batter, so u can eat these fries as is without a dip, or use any of your favorite dips or sauces.
Change up the seasoning, or skip the spices.. tons of variations.

Instructions

In a bowl or directly in the pan, add all the ingredients and whisk.
Heat the pan on low-medium heat and keep whisking to combine all the ingredients.
Whisk for 4-6 minutes until the batter starts get thick and stiff. You will be able to feel the stiffness and the batter will not move easily.
Drop the stiff batter onto parchment or greased sheet. Spread the batter quickly using a greased spatula keeping it 1/4-1/2 inch thick and let set for an hour in refrigerator.
Cut the set batter into strips. (At this point, the strips can be frozen. Thaw and proceed to grill/bake.)
Then either bake or pan fry or grill. Brush a little oil on the fries to grill.
Pan fry for 2-3 minutes each side on medium-high heat.

I sprinkled some cajun spice on them and served with sriracha.
