Crunchy Chickpea Crisps - gluten free baked snack!

Gluten-free baked snack made of besan. Inspired by a traditional Egyptian spice mix with nuts and seeds called Dukkah. It is used as a sprinkle on top of soups and other dishes. I made my own version. It adds an extra crunch to every bite. This is a very versatile recipe where you can change the spices according to your taste and personal preference of spices and flavors.
Ingredients
- Besan: ¾ cup
- Cold pressed coconut oil: 1.5 tbsp
- Water: 2 tbsp
- Rock salt: to taste
- Chilli flakes: ½ tsp
- Ajwain: ¼ tsp
- Baking powder: ½ tsp
- Dukkah: ¼ cup
To make Dukkah
- Almonds: 2 tbsp (toasted)
- Cashew: 2 tbsp (toasted)
- Sesame seeds: 1 tbsp (toasted)
- Cumin seeds: 1 tsp (roasted)
- Coriander seeds: ½ tsp (roasted)
- Rock salt: ¼ tsp
Method
- Roughly crush the ingredients of Dukkah and store in an airtight jar.
- Take besan in a mixing bowl, add salt, oil, ajwain, baking powder and chilli flakes and mix well.
- Add water to this mix little by little. You may not need all of the 2 tbsp of water.
- Mix into a stiff dough.
- Roll and cut using a cookie cutter to make the desired shape.
- Sprinkle the dukkah on each of the crackers/cookies and spread with your fingers.
- Run the rolling pin gently over the top of the crackers so that the dukkah gets slightly embedded in the dough.
- Place on a baking tray and bake for around 10 minutes at 180° C
- Bake until the edges are brown. You may need to bake for less than 10 minutes, depending on how thin you have rolled the dough.
- This measurement yields around 7 crackers, depending on how thin you roll the dough
- Cool well and store in airtight jars.
- Serve with interesting creamy dips.
Eating guide:
- Food group: Legumes & nuts
- Legumes are whole foods rich in fibre and protein and can be easily combined with other food groups except fruits.
- This could be a good travel snack.
- Easy to carry and long shelf life. Better than store-bought savouries and biscuits.
