Crispy Chickpea Nuggets

Ingredients:

1 can of chickpeas

1/3 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

2 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp paprika

pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Drain chickpea liquid into a bowl. Put aside. Do not throw it away! You will need it later.

3. Rinse chickpeas and dry well.

4. In a food processor, blend your oats. Put aside in a bowl.

5. Once chickpeas are fully dry, add into food processor with garlic powder, paprika and salt.

6. Add the oat mix back into the food processor until you have a moldable dough texture. You might have to add a bit of water if the mix seems too dry.

7. Shape the dough into nuggets. I got 11 nuggets out of this mix.

8. Coat the nuggets in the chickpea liquid, and then into the breadcrumbs. Make sure they are fully covered.

9. Place nuggets on a lined baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until desired crispiness.

10. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy! :)
