Crispy Chickpea Chips (Printable)
Golden, crispy chips made from chickpea flour with Mediterranean spices for a healthy, satisfying crunch.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup chickpea flour (gram or besan flour)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Wet Ingredients
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1/3 cup water
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper until evenly blended.
03 - Add olive oil and water to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a smooth, soft dough forms with no dry spots.
04 - Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out to an even thickness of about 1/8 inch (2–3 mm).
05 - Peel off the top layer of parchment. Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into chip-sized squares or rectangles.
06 - Carefully transfer the parchment with the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Bake for 18–25 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
08 - Transfer chips to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These chips deliver that deep savory crunch you crave from store bought snacks but with exactly six pantry spices you can actually pronounce.
- The dough comes together in under five minutes and the oven does all the hard work while you clean up.
02 -
- If your dough cracks while rolling it needs a few more drops of water kneaded in until it feels pliable and smooth.
- Underbaked chips will bend instead of snap so give them an extra two minutes if you are unsure.
03 -
- Roll the dough as thin as you possibly can because thick chips turn hard instead of crispy and nobody wants that.
- Watch the edges closely in the last five minutes of baking because they go from golden to burnt faster than you would believe.
