Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Carrot sticks
- 1 cup Bell pepper strips
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups Sparkling water
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Gradually whisk in the sparkling water into the dry ingredients until you achieve a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Dry the vegetables using a paper towel to remove any moisture, which helps the batter adhere better.
Dip each vegetable piece into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Arrange the battered vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Lightly spray the coated vegetables with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These crispy treats are best enjoyed immediately but can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
