INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpeas (drained)
3 large Egg Whites
1 scoop Unflavored Whey Protein Powder
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, egg whites, whey protein powder, and rolled oats. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth but still slightly chunky to provide texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into small bite-sized patties or balls, ensuring they hold together.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the chickpea bites in the basket in a single layer, making sure there is space between each for even crisping.
Air fry the bites for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a protein-packed snack or as part of a balanced meal.
