Scale
Chickpea Chip Batter
- 80 grams chickpea flour
- 140 grams water
- ½ teaspoon salt
Optional Seasonings
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, or rosemary)
- Dried herbs or spices (such as smoked paprika, cumin, or chili flakes)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking the chips.
- Mix the batter: In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Prepare baking sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Form the chips: Spoon the batter onto the parchment paper and spread it into thin, even circles to ensure crispness during baking.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs or your choice of dried herbs and spices over the batter circles to add flavor.
- Bake the chips: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the chips turn golden and the edges begin to brown.
- Cool before serving: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the parchment paper for 15 to 20 minutes to achieve maximum crispness before gently peeling them off.
- Serve and enjoy: Offer the chips with your favorite dips or enjoy them plain as a quick, crunchy snack.
Notes
- Store the chickpea chips in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
- You can customize the flavor by adding any herbs or spices your family prefers.
- For extra crispiness, bake the chips an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
