→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1/2 of an onion
02 - 200 g dried chickpeas
03 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
04 - A drizzle of oil + extra for frying
05 - 1 teaspoon vinegar
06 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 - 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
10 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
11 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
12 - 1 tablespoon dried Provence herbs
13 - 1 tablespoon light miso paste or a vegetable stock cube

# Instructions:

01 - Put the dried chickpeas in a bowl filled with water and let them soak for a full 24 hours.
02 - After the chickpeas have soaked, drain them and rinse thoroughly. Blend one half of the chickpeas with a little bit of salt until it's a rough, chunky mix. Put this in a large bowl. Take the other half of the chickpeas and blend them with the onion, miso, dried herbs, spices, vinegar, oil, cornstarch, and baking powder. Mix the two batches together until smooth and well combined.
03 - Set your oven at 200°C so it can preheat. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Take a spoonful of the dough and press it into nugget shapes with your hands, then place on the tray. Lightly brush the tops with a bit of oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, keeping an eye on them as they turn golden brown.

# Notes:

01 - These nuggets are great for appetizers or as a vegetarian meal.
02 - Try them with your favorite dipping sauce for an even tastier experience!
