 Ingredients:
• 1 x 400g can chickpeas [rinsed, drained and patted dry]
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• 1 small orange sweet potato [peeled]
• 1/2 cup FreshLife Pepitas
• 3 x 10cm long red chillies [cut into 3mm thick slices]
• 1/4 cup FreshLife Raisins
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt to taste
Method:
1. Arrange chickpeas on paper towel to air dry while frying other ingredients.
2. Heat oil in a 4 litre heavy saucepan or wok over moderate heat until 180ºC.
3. Use a peeler to shave 2 cups of thin strips from the sweet potato. Fry 1/2 cup at a time until golden and just crisp, for about 1 minute, then drain on paper towels.
4. Cool oil to 170ºC and fry Pepitas in 2 batches, covered [seeds will pop and splatter], until puffed but not brown, for 30 - 60 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
5. Fry chilli until crisp but still red, for about 1 minute. Drain on paper towel.
6. Fry chickpeas in 2 batches until golden and crisp throughout, for 5 - 10 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
7. Toss together all ingredients and serve warm or cool.
