Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour besan/garbanzo bean flour. You can also use garbanzo-fava bean flour
- 1/3 cup well mashed roasted Kabocha squash or any other squash or 1/3 cup mashed sweet potato
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/2 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 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.
- 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.
