These vegan chickpea nuggets sound delicious and nutritious! Here’s a breakdown of the method:
Ingredients:
- 400g (2 1/2 cups) boiled chickpeas
- Smoked paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- 15ml (1 tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
- 60g (1/2 cup) almond flour or coconut flour
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or set your air fryer to 200°C.
- Mash Chickpeas: Pour the boiled chickpeas into a bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until they form a coarse paste.
- Season: Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, extra virgin olive oil, almond flour or coconut flour, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
