INGREDIENTS
-
1/2 cup
Spelt or Rye Bread Flour
-
1/2 cup
Quinoa or Amaranth
-
1
(15-ounce or more) garbanzo beans
-
1 teaspoon
Natural sea salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne, basil, or oregano powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
onion powder (no salt)
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375°F.
-
Place the Spelt flour on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden-brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool while preparing the nuggets. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place the Quinoa in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and process into a fine flour. Transfer to a large bowl and reserve the food processor.
-
Drain the chickpeas over a bowl or measuring cup, then save the chickpeas and 1/4 cup of the liquid. Place the chickpeas into the food processor; add the salt, Cayenne powder, and onion powder; and pulse until crumbly. Keep mixture in the food processor. Add grapeseed or avocado oil to your chickpea to allow it to soak the nutritional value of your alkaline oils.
-
Whisk 1/4 cup of the chickpea liquid in a small mixing bowl until foamy. Add the foamy chickpea liquid and 1/2 cup of the oat flour to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a ball. You may have a little Quinoa flour leftover, which you can add to the chickpea mixture 1 tablespoon at a time if the mixture is loose.
-
Divide the chickpea mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each one into a nugget. Coat each nugget completely in the toasted Spelt and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Bake until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
