Directions
- In a large bowl, soak dried fava beans in slightly salted water for 8 hours or overnight. As the beans soak they will split apart. Split the beans that have not done so by gently pulling them apart.
- Rinse, drain, and pat dry.
- Heat vegetable or grapeseed oil in a small saucepan until lightly smoking. Carefully add handfuls of the halved beans to the oil. When lightly browned and bubbles are slow and steady, remove with slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels to catch the excess oil.
- Lightly sprinkle with salt, toss together and repeat the process until all fava beans are fried. Allow the beans to cool and become crispy!

I wonder if these could be baked like chick peas are made as a snack. I cannot use oils.
