Crispy, savory chips made from chickpea flour for a healthy gluten-free snack ready in under an hour.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup chickpea flour (gram flour)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 1/2 cup water
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper until evenly blended.
03 - Add water and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth, thick batter forms with no lumps.
04 - Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it evenly into a thin layer approximately 1/8 inch thick.
05 - Lightly brush the surface of the batter with additional olive oil to promote even browning and crispness.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy. For extra crunch, flip the sheet halfway through baking.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut or break into chip-sized pieces.
08 - Serve warm on their own or pair with hummus, guacamole, or salsa.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These chips give you that deep, satisfying crunch of a potato chip but they are packed with protein and completely gluten free.
  • You probably already have everything you need sitting in your spice rack right now, no fancy shopping required.
02 -
  • If your batter is too thick it will not crisp through, thin it out with a splash more water until it spreads easily.
  • Flip the whole sheet halfway through baking and the underside gets just as crunchy as the top.
03 -
  • The thinner you spread the batter the crispier the chips, so do not be shy about really working that spatula to the edges.
  • Let the baked sheet cool for five full minutes before breaking, the chips continue to crisp up as they sit and break more cleanly when slightly cooled.
