THE RECIPE

BAKED CHICKPEA NUGGETS

~ Makes 24 Nuggets ~

Ingredients:

  • 1 can or 1.5 cups of prepared organic chickpeas (AKA garbanzo beans)
  • 1 organic yellow or red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup of organic tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons of gluten-free organic rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon of organic garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of organic dried parsley or basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt

Ninja Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425° F and line a large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. (TIP: Ditch aluminum baking pans since aluminum is a neurotoxin, and go with stainless steel baking pans instead.)
  2. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until finely chopped and combined, but not pureed (you want a little chunk in the batter).
  3. Using your hands, form the batter into a ball about the size of a golf ball and then flatten into a nugget shape. Place the nugget on the lined baking pan and repeat with the rest of the batter. (You should end up with about 24 nuggets.)
  4. Bake for 35 minutes and remove from the oven. Allow the nuggets to cool completely and ENJOY!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
