PROTIEN-PACKED RECIPE

Crispy Chickpea Nuggets

A healthy, protein-packed alternative to traditional chicken nuggets, Chickpea Nuggets are a dream come true! Whether you’re vegetarian, looking for gluten-free options, or simply want to incorporate less meat into your diet, these chickpea nuggets will become your new favorite.

They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor, making them perfect for parties, family dinners, finger foods, or a nutritious snack.

1. Start by preheating your oven to 355°F (180ºC). Then, drain your canned chickpea liquid (aquafaba) and gather your spices, oat flour, and breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are my go-to!

5. Mix your oat flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and a little more salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Coat each nugget in this dry mix evenly. This step adds that irresistible crunch once baked.
