Ingredients

1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Herbs and spices of your choice (such as rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or chili flakes)

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, salt, and water until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 2: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 3: Pour spoonfuls of the batter onto the baking sheets, spreading each into thin circles about ¼ inch thick.
Step 4: Sprinkle your chosen herbs and spices evenly over the batter circles before baking.
Step 5: Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
Step 6: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 15-20 minutes to crisp up before serving.

Tips & Variations

Try mixing in different spice blends to suit your taste, such as cumin and coriander for a warm flavor or za’atar for a Middle Eastern twist.
If you want extra crispy chips, bake them a few minutes longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
You can also brush the chips lightly with olive oil before baking for a richer texture and flavor.
For a gluten-free option, double-check your spices and herbs for cross-contamination.

Storage

Store the chickpea chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them crispy, avoid refrigerating. If they lose crispness, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of chickpea flour?

Chickpea flour gives these chips their unique flavor and texture; using regular flour will change the taste and may not result in the same crispiness.

Can I make these chips without an oven?

You can try cooking them in a non-stick skillet on low heat, spreading the batter thin and flipping to crisp both sides, but the texture will differ from oven-baked chips.

Instructions

Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, salt, and water until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This batter will form the base of your chickpea chips.

Bake: Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown, signaling crispiness.
Cool and serve: Remove the baked chickpea chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 15-20 minutes to firm up and reach optimal crunchiness before serving.
