Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable protein powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and scrub the baby potatoes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel and cut each potato in half.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and vegetable protein powder.
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for about 3 minutes.
Place the coated potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on your air fryer's size.
Air fry the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Check the potatoes for doneness at the 20-minute mark. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while tender on the inside.
Once cooked, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a high protein side dish or snack.
