Ingredients
Chickpea Chips
- 80 grams chickpea flour
- 140 grams water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Chopped fresh herbs, dried herbs, or spices (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s properly heated for baking the chickpea chips.
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, and salt until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Line baking sheets: Place parchment paper on two baking sheets to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the chips.
- Shape the chips: Spoon the batter onto the parchment paper and spread it out into thin, even circles to ensure crispness when baked.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle your choice of chopped fresh herbs, dried herbs, or spices on top of the batter for added flavor, if desired.
- Bake: Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes until the chips turn golden and the edges become lightly brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for 15 to 20 minutes on the parchment paper before carefully peeling them off. Serve alone or with your favorite dips.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is spread thinly to achieve maximum crispiness in the chips.
- Feel free to customize the chips with different herbs and spices such as rosemary, paprika, cumin, or chili flakes for varied flavors.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days for maintaining crispness.
- This recipe is gluten-free and vegan, making it suitable for a variety of dietary preferences.
- Allow chips to cool completely before removing from parchment paper to prevent breaking.
