Crispy Golden Mac & Cheese Bites
Crispy baked chickpea pasta bites folded with creamy Greek yogurt and sharp cheddar, finished with a golden panko crust that provides a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.13 cup Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Avocado oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with avocado oil.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Fold the cooked pasta and shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture until every noodle is thoroughly coated.
Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, pressing down with the back of a spoon to pack them tightly.
Sprinkle the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top of each bite.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bites feel firm to the touch.
Allow the bites to cool in the tin for at least 5 minutes before gently removing them with a knife to ensure they maintain their shape.
