Chickpea Chips Batter
- 1 cup Chickpea Flour
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Herbs and Spices (such as rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or chili flakes)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, salt, and water until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, creating a thin batter.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Form the Chips: Pour spoonfuls of the batter onto the lined baking sheets and spread each into thin circles about ¼ inch thick, ensuring an even thickness for crispiness.
- Add Flavor: Sprinkle your selected herbs and spices evenly over each batter circle to infuse the chips with your desired flavor profile.
- Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool for 15-20 minutes on the baking sheets to crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- Adjust salt according to your taste preferences.
- Experiment with different spice blends to customize flavors.
- Ensure batter is spread thinly for optimal crispiness.
- Chickpea chips keep well in an airtight container for several days.
- These chips make a great gluten-free and vegetarian snack option.
