Chickpea Chips
These chickpea chips are crispy, flavorful crackers made from chickpea flour. They're lightly flavored with smoked paprika and garlic powder, and are baked - not fried. Serve them with hummus or guacamole for a healthy vegan snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the chickpea flour, baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, olive oil and water. When the dough starts holding together, knead it until it forms a ball. *see note 1
- Dust a sheet of parchment paper with chickpea flour. Press the dough down with your hands, and cover with another piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it's ⅛ inch thick.
- Trim the edges of the dough to form a square and cut the chickpea chips into your desired shape. Poke holes in each chip with the tines of a fork.
- Transfer the chips to the prepared baking tray and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are starting to brown.
Notes
- Some chickpea flours require less water than others to form a dough. Besan and gram flour require about 3 tablespoons of water. If you are using garbanzo or chickpea flour, you might need to add a bit more water to get your dough to pull together. Only add water 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Store chickpea chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
