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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Then, place them in a food processor.
Step 3
Add nutritional yeast, flour, water, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl and, using your hands, scoop out small portions and shape them into nugget-sized pieces.
Step 6
Spread the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each nugget in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 7
Place the coated nuggets on the prepared baking sheet and spray or drizzle a little olive oil over the top of them.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
