PREPARATION

1
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, mix the warm pasta with Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3
Place the pasta mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up for easier handling.
4
Scoop the chilled mixture and roll into 4-5 uniform balls using your hands.
5
Whisk the egg in a small shallow bowl and place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
6
Dip each ball first into the egg wash, then roll in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
7
Lightly brush or spray the balls with avocado oil and place them in the air fryer basket.
8
Air-fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
