Jul 30

They say chips are just the vehicle to good salsa — but why ignore half of the equation? These chickpea chips will be the hit at every party with a mouth-watering blend of savory spices, the perfect level of cheesiness, and a satisfying crunch. Did we mention that they’re also high in protein and fiber, vegan, and grain-free? Step aside, tortilla chips.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKPEA CHIPS

Makes 50 chips

What You Need:

Baking Sheet

Oven

Rolling Pin

Parchment Paper

Knife

Airtight container (for storage)

Ingredients:

2 cups/250g chickpea flour

1 ½ tsp. fine sea salt

1 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper

2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. onion powder

2 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. baking powder

4 Tbsp. nutritional yeast flakes

¼ cup / 60ml coconut oil, melted

4-6 Tbsp. warm water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C.
Sift the chickpea flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and baking powder together into a large mixing bowl. Add the nutritional yeast and stir. Drizzle in the melted coconut oil and mix with your hands until the dough is crumbly. Add ¼ cup/60ml warm water and stir until the dough comes together. If the dough is not sticking together, add more water a teaspoon at a time until it does. Do not overwork the dough.
Place the ball of dough on a sheet of parchment paper and flatten into a rough disc. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough, and using a rolling pin, roll it out as thin as possible (if you don’t have large baking sheets, it may help to divide the dough in half and work in two batches). The thinner the dough, the lighter and crispier your chips will be. Remove the top layer of parchment paper and score the dough into triangles with a knife. Slide the parchment paper and dough onto a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 10-13 minutes until the chips are golden around the edges.
Once completely cool, transfer the chips to an airtight container where they will keep for up to two weeks.

Tips:

Chickpea flour can be found at your local health food store or Asian and Middle Eastern grocery stores. You might find it labeled as “gram flour” or “besan.”
Feel free to play around with the spices. If you’re looking for a spicier chip, go for a hot paprika rather than a sweet version.
