Crispy Savory Chickpea Chips (Printable)

Golden, crispy chips crafted from chickpea flour with aromatic spices. Ready in 40 minutes for healthy snacking.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup chickpea flour (gram flour)

02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

03 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

04 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

07 - 1/2 cup water

08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper until evenly blended.

03 - Add the water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth, thick batter forms with no lumps.

04 - Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it into an even, thin layer approximately 1/8 inch thick.

05 - Lightly brush the surface of the batter with additional olive oil to promote even browning and crispness.

06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the surface is crispy throughout.

07 - Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Cut or break into chip-sized pieces.

08 - Serve warm or at room temperature on their own, or pair with hummus, guacamole, or salsa.

01 -

Five pantry staples and water are all you need to make something genuinely crunchy and satisfying.
They come together faster than a grocery run and taste better than anything from a bag.

02 -

If the batter is too thick it will never crisp properly, so aim for the consistency of heavy cream before spreading.
Flipping the entire sheet halfway through baking is the single trick that takes these from good to shatteringly crisp.

03 -

The thinner you spread the batter the shatter proof the chips become, so do not be shy about really working it to the edges.
Letting the baked sheet cool for five minutes before breaking gives cleaner snaps and prevents burning your fingers.
