Patrick Recommends: Herbed Chickpea Crackers

  • Herbed Chickpea Crackers



















































































  • I bought some chickpea flour at a local Middle Eastern market
  • when I had the grand idea of becoming the Chicago King of













  • baked falafel. In the process, I found a boxed mix that does a











  • better job than I ever could. In researching uses for the









  • chickpea flour, I found this cracker recipe. These are savory













  • guilt-free crackers that impress.




















































































  • Time 15 minutes
  • Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour, sifted before measuring
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tbsp pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 3-5 tablespoons water

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Mix all dry ingredients together well.
  • Begin stirring in water one tablespoon at a time. When the dough can be formed into a ball, you have added enough water.
  • Knead the dough several times to distribute the ingredients, and then roll it in plastic wrap and let rest 15-20 minutes.
  • Dust your work area and rolling pin well with the gluten-free flour.
  • Divide dough in half, put half on the floured surface, and sprinkle the top with flour.
  • Roll it out extremely thin, and cut it into 1" squares.
  • Place crackers on a non-stick cookie sheet and repeat with other half of dough.
  • Prick each cracker once or twice with a fork.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then turn off oven and allow them to cool inside.
