Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, salt, and water until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. This ensures even texture and crispness in your chips.
Prepare Oven & Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to aid in easy cleanup.
Form Batter Circles: Spoon portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets. Use the back of the spoon to spread each portion into thin circles approximately ¼ inch thick to help the chips crisp up evenly during baking.
Add Herbs & Spices: Sprinkle your chosen herbs and spices over the shaped batter circles. This step adds flavorful twists to your crispy chickpea chips.
Bake Chips: Bake the sheets in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the chips turn a golden brown, indicating crispiness.
Cool Before Serving: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 15-20 minutes. Cooling helps them firm up, enhancing their crisp texture.
