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
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Dry the vegetables using a paper towel to remove any moisture, which helps the batter adhere better.
Step 5
Dip each vegetable piece into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Arrange the battered vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 7
Lightly spray the coated vegetables with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
