Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a spiral cutter, create twister shapes with the potatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until fluffy and slightly stiff.
Gently fold the egg whites into the chickpea flour mixture, creating a thick batter.
Dip each potato twister into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the coated potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil to promote even crisping in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately for the best texture.
