Chickpea Breadcrumbs (Air Fryer Recipe!)
Watch as Chef Dawn prepares our Chickpea Breadcrumbs in an air fryer - quick-and-easy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried chickpeas
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Sort through the chickpeas and remove any stones or grit. Rinse well. Place the chickpeas in a bowl and add enough water to cover by a few inches. Cover with a bamboo mat or a towel. Set aside at a room temperature to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- Preheat an air fryer to 325°F.
- Drain the chickpeas well. Spread them on an absorbent towel and pat dry with another towel.
- Toss the chickpea crumbs with olive oil and salt, then add to your air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 20-30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking to prevent the chickpeas from sticking together or burning on one side.
- Remove the chickpeas from the air fryer basket and place on a paper towel to cool. Once cooled slightly, place them in a food processor and pulse until you have a fine bread crumb consistency.
- Make sure bread crumbs are dry and cooled before storing in an airtight container in the cupboard for up to 3 months.
