Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Then, place them in a food processor.
Add nutritional yeast, flour, water, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it's well combined and forms a thick dough. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor a few times.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl and, using your hands, scoop out small portions and shape them into nugget-sized pieces.
Spread the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each nugget in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated nuggets on the prepared baking sheet and spray or drizzle a little olive oil over the top of them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
