In a large bowl, mix together chickpea flour, whey protein isolate, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a separate bowl, whisk together water, olive oil, and the egg until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough into a long rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, cut the dough into strips about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the dough strips fully.
Fry the dough strips in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried dough sticks with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Serve immediately while still warm and crispy. Enjoy your high-protein crispy fried dough sticks with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own!
