Note
A fun twist on chickpeas
If you usually use chickpeas for hummus or salads, this recipe is a fun way to try them in a completely different form. Blended with egg and a few simple seasonings, chickpeas turn into crispy little sticks that are perfect for snacking or dipping. Chickpeas provide plant-based protein and fiber, while the egg adds extra protein and helps give the sticks their structure.
Make them your own:
Change the flavor with garlic, paprika, chili, oregano, or your favorite spice mix. For the crispiest result, pipe the sticks relatively thin and bake until golden. They will become firmer as they cool, so give them a few minutes before serving.
