Chickpea Crackers

 INGREDIENTS

1 cup Cooked Chickpeas

½ cup Mozzarella Cheese or Cheddar

3 tbsp Instant Oats

2 tbsp Olive Oil

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Red Chilli powder

1 tsp Salt or to taste 

 

PREPARATIONS


Preheat the oven to 180 degree C (360 degree F). Take a large baking tray and keep it ready.

Take chickpeas, cheese, oats, spice powders and oil in a blender jar and puree till smooth. The mixture will be super thick, so you might need to scrape the sides of the blender often for even grinding. 

The ground mixture will be like a soft dough. Take the dough and place onto a sheet of parchment paper. Now shape the dough into a rough rectangle and place another sheet of parchment paper on top. 

Now roll this gently until the cracker dough is evenly spread and slightly thin. If your oven is smaller, you might need to make this in 2 batches by dividing the dough in half. 

Peel off the top parchment. Use a pizza cutter to cut vertical and horizontally to form crackers. Use a toothpick to make Tiny holes all over the crackers. 

Place the parchment paper with the crackers on the baking tray or sheet and place it into the oven. Bake this for 25 to 30 minutes until the crackers are golden brown and looking crispy. 

Remove from the oven and let it cool down completely for 10 minutes. Now break it into shards and enjoy with your favourite dip. 

Once cooled, you can store this in a ziplock cover in the fridge. The crackers tend to go slightly less crispy after a day or two. Place it back into the oven for another 5 minutes to crisp it again. You can even bake this in an air fryer.
