Crispy Golden Mac and Cheese Bites
Air-fried chickpea pasta bites blended with sharp cheddar and creamy Greek yogurt for a satisfyingly crunchy exterior and gooey center.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz dry chickpea pasta
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.5 tbsp almond flour
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta and shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture until every noodle is well-coated.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape.
Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F and lightly brush the basket with olive oil.
Scoop the pasta mixture into small balls, roll each lightly in almond flour, and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
