these chickpea nuggets are a game-changer for anyone looking for a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional nuggets.
with a perfect blend of spices and a satisfying texture, these nuggets are sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
texture and taste
the texture of these chickpea nuggets is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
the combination of chickpeas, nutritional yeast, and chickpea flour creates a slightly nutty flavor, while the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and sea salt add a savory depth.
the chopped spinach not only boosts the nutritional value but also adds a subtle freshness to every bite.
how to make chickpea nuggets
making these nuggets is a breeze!
you’ll start by blending 30 ounces of rinsed and drained chickpeas with garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, paprika, and sea salt in a food processor until the mixture is mostly smooth but still has a bit of texture.
transfer this mixture to a bowl and fold in 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, 1 cup of chopped spinach, and 1/3 cup of chickpea flour.
once everything is well combined, shape the mixture into nugget-sized pieces.
preheat your oven to 375°f (190°c) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
place the nuggets on the baking sheet and bake for about 22-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
the result is golden-brown nuggets that are ready to be enjoyed.
protein and nutritional content
chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making these nuggets a nutritious option for vegans and vegetarians.
in addition to protein, chickpeas are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
the nutritional yeast adds a boost of b vitamins and a cheesy flavor, while the spinach provides iron, calcium, and antioxidants.
what to serve with chickpea nuggets
these chickpea nuggets are incredibly versatile and can be served with a variety of sides and dipping sauces.
pair them with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or sweet potato fries for a balanced meal.
for dipping, try hummus, tahini sauce, or your favorite vegan ranch dressing.
storage
if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
to reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°f (175°c) for about 10 minutes, or until they’re warmed through and crispy again.
you can also freeze the nuggets for up to 2 months.
just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
these chickpea nuggets are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a perfect addition to your meal rotation.
give them a try and enjoy a wholesome snack that everyone will love!
