This week I found myself in a food rut and wanted to make something different for dinner. Earlier in the week I had cooked up some chickpeas (I used dried) and I started thinking up different ways I could use them. These chickpea poppers are like healthier chicken nuggets. They're fun to eat and nutritious to boot. These were my dinner along with some curried cauliflower. They'd be great as a party appetizer, too, though!
Chickpea Poppers
Ingredients:
1 cup chickpeas
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Process until all of the ingredients are mixed together. Make sure to not completely macerate the chickpeas--you want some texture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.

hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletelots of vitamin c :) what are you dipping that in?
ReplyDeleteBBQ sauce -- it's be good with pretty much any sauce, though. The flavors in the poppers themselves are pretty neutral.
