    Gluten Free Chickpea Chips

    Gluten Free Chickpea Chips

     
    This is a yummy chip that is actually made with ground up chickpeas ( chickpea flour ) rather than the usual wheat flour or corn!
    Also, because these chips are baked, they are even better for us!
     

    You may be wondering and yes, chickpeas are often referred to as garbanzo beans.
    While you may see flour that called 'chickpea flour' it could be also called 'garbanzo bean flour'.
    It really is best to read the label on the package to be sure that what you are buying 100% chickpea or garbanzo bean flour.

    Here is one example of Organic Chickpea Flour/Garbanzo Bean Flour .

    About the product
    USDA Organic Chickpea Flour
    Batch Tested and Verified Gluten Free
    Also known as Garbanzo Bean or Besan Flour
    Naturally dense flour with good binding tendencies
    Great Gluten-Free alternative for baking, thickening sauces, soups and gravies!.

     

    This recipe is based upon a recipe featured on the Mediterranean Diet Site Food, Wine and Love (a sister site to this one).

    Chickpeas are a favorite food of not only followers of the gluten free diet and vegan diet but, also to the Mediterranean food diet. This is the diet that we seem to hear a lot of good things about from the experts.

    Chickpeas are a legume that is loaded with great nutrition.
    They have potassium, Vitamin B-6, as well as many other minerals in them. Vegans and Vegetarians like chickpeas because they are a great source of iron and protein.

     

    Chickpea flour is an often used gluten free flour that holds up better than other flours in certain recipes.

    If you are familiar with gluten free baking then you have probably had to use a binder with gluten free flour. This is because the gluten that normally glues a bread or cracker together is gone (hence the term 'gluten free').

    Because of its texture, chickpea flour can work as a thickener as well.
    For example, many people will add all purpose flour to gravy as a thickener.
    Chickpea flour is a great gluten free alternative that can be used in the place of all purpose flour in gravy and other sauces.

     

    I mentioned that this is the perfect chip to dip into some great tasting hummus.

    Hummus is also made with chickpeas which is why they work well together. You can find an easy recipe for hummus on FoodWineandLove as well.

    I should also mention that this chip can be personalize with seasonings.
    For example, you can make this into a Salt and Vinegar tasting chip using a salt and vinegar seasoning or a Garlic and Pepper tasting chip using a garlic and pepper seasoning. I personally am partial to the seasonings from Trader Joe's such as the Everything But The Bagel and the Chile Lime seasonings.
     

    These ChickPea Chips can easily double as crackers.

    When you roll out the dough for these, simply make it a bit thicker (like ยผ"). Then cut them into a square or rectangle rather than a triangle.

    What you will need to make Gluten Free Chickpea Chips

     

    • Chickpea flour - 1 cup.
    • Seasonings- total of 2 teaspoons. I love Trader Joe's Everything Bagel Seasoning. I also like garlic and roasted herbs seasonings or and also another great option is Old Bay Seasoning.

Then use a pizza cutter or similar rolling cutter to cut your crackers into squares or desired shapes.
    • If you have additional leftover dough you can make an additional sheet of crackers. Top will additional seasoning if desired such as Kosher Salt.
