Recipes » Appetizers » Chickpea Tenders With Flaxseeds

By Kitchen Diaries

(22)

These Chickpea Tenders are a whole food, plant-based alternative to chicken nuggets, one of the most popular convenience foods in America. A favorite with kids and adults, this recipe is so simple to make--especially if you mix the spices ahead of time. Good for a snack, a party appetizer, or even a sandwich stuffer!

Low Sugar Nut Free

Ingredients

1 ½ cup cooked chickpeas, drained
¼ tsp of black pepper
½ tsp of cumin
½ tsp of curry powder
¼ tsp of cayenne pepper
¼ tsp of chilli powder or paprika
2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp of garlic, minced
1 heaping Tbsp of nutritional yeast
½ Tbsp of salt-free poultry seasoning
¼ tsp of onion powder
¼ cup of ground golden flax seed

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Add all the ingredients to a food processor (or use a potato masher) and process (or mash) until mixed. You should get a crumbly consistency with everything combined.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Shape the mixture into tenders or nuggets.
5. Bake until extra crispy for 20-22 minutes, flipping gently halfway through.
6. Let them cool a bit before serving.

Cooking Tips

1. They go great with ketchup, barbeque sauce, and many other favorite condiments.
2. Increase the cayenne pepper to ½ tsp if you like it really spicy, warning they'll be hot!
3. You can make a large batch of these fingers ahead of time and freeze them.
