Ingredients
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted dry

- 1 small sweet potato
- 1/2 cup hulled (green) pumpkin seeds
- 3 (4-inch-long) fresh hot red chiles, cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
- Special equipment: a deep-fat thermometer
Instructions
- Arrange chickpeas in 1 layer on paper towels and allow to air-dry while frying other ingredients.
- Heat oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until deep-fat thermometer registers 365 °F.

- Fry pumpkin seeds in 2 batches, covered (seeds will pop and splatter), until puffed (but not brown), 30 seconds to 1 minute, then transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 340 °F between batches.)
- Fry chiles until crisp but still red, about 1 minute, then transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Fry chickpeas in 2 batches until golden and crisp throughout, 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Toss sweet-potato crisps, pumpkin seeds, chiles, chickpeas, and raisins with sugar, cayenne, and salt to taste.
