A creative snack that puts chickpeas, a staple ingredient of the Middle East, at the center of a sweet rather than a savory dish. Sugar is cooked to caramel and coated over dry-toasted crisp chickpeas, turning them into a toasty, salted-caramel-like snack. Its hallmark is the shift in role from meal to snack, entirely within the Middle Eastern pantry.
Drain the chickpeas well and pat dry with paper towels.
Dry-toast in a frying pan until crisp on the outside.
In another pan, cook sugar and water down to a golden caramel.
Toss the toasted chickpeas in the caramel.
Spread on baking paper, sprinkle with salt, and let cool until set.
