Air-fried chickpea pasta spheres blended with a creamy, protein-packed cheese sauce and coated in a crisp almond crust for a satisfyingly crunchy finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea macaroni
0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
1 tbsp almond flour
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp avocado oil
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
PREPARATION
Cook chickpea macaroni in boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Blend cottage cheese until smooth and combine with shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Fold the cooked pasta into the cheese mixture and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
Form the chilled pasta mixture into 1-inch balls.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl and place almond flour in a separate shallow dish.
Roll each ball in the egg wash, then coat thoroughly with almond flour.
Lightly spray the balls with avocado oil and air fry at 375°F for 10 minutes until golden.
Serve immediately with a side of Greek yogurt for a tangy dipping sauce.
