Jump to Recipe
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.
Make these Chickpea flour Fries.

Author: Vegan Richa
Ingredients
- ½ cup (60 g) Chickpea flour besan/garbanzo bean flour. You can also use garbanzo-fava bean flour
- ⅓ cup (300 g) well mashed roasted Kabocha squash or any other squash or ⅓ cup mashed sweet potato
- ¾ cup (187.5 ml) water
- ⅓ tsp (0.33 tsp) salt
- ½ tsp (0.5 tsp) ranch seasoning Garlic, Onion, Dill, Parsley, Chives and a touch of Pepper. or other spices of choice)
- black pepper to taste
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 ¼-1/2 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.
For Baked: Broil on Low for 4-5 minutes then broil on High for half a minute to a minute(depends on how crisp you want the fries). The fries can be baked or grilled without oil too.
I sprinkled some cajun spice on them and served with sriracha.

These look scrumptious! I’d imagine you could use canned pumpkin instead of the squash if you’re in a hurry (or too lazy to cook a squash). I can’t wait to try these.

I shall be making some of these tomorrow – we love chickpeas any which way, and we enjoy chips now and then – these with some roasted Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and tomatoes should be really tasty:) thank you!

I love making fries from chickpea flour! Usually I just season them with salt and pepper afterwards and eat them with ketchup, but I love your version with the seasoning added to the batter and adding mashed squash. I bet the sweet potato version would be amazing too, I definitely have to try that! Thanks for the tip on freezing too – now I know that I can make a bigger batch and have them whenever I want 🙂
Reply
Richa
i know right.. add some spice to the batter. the taste changes drmatically!:) oh yes.. definitely make a bigger batch!
