INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Chickpea Pasta (140g)
2 large Egg Whites (66g total)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (16g)
Italian Seasoning, Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chickpea pasta, egg whites, part-skim mozzarella, and nutritional yeast.
Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Scoop small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming bite-sized rounds or patties, and slightly flatten them to help with even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bites are golden and crispy on the edges.
Allow the pasta bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a protein-rich snack or part of your meal.
