Crispy chickpeas are one of my favorite snacks and I love incorporating them into my recipes. The combination of chickpeas and broccolini in tacos is nutritious, delicious and best of all, easy! —Through The Kitchen
Ingredients
- Crispy Chickpea and Brocolini Tacos
-
15 ounces
chickpeas
-
1.5 tablespoons
olive oil
-
2 bunches
broccolini
-
6
corn tortillas
-
1 teaspoon
Garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon
Onion powder
-
2 teaspoons
Paprika
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1
lime (cut into wedges)
- Avocado Crema
-
1/2
avocado
-
3-4 tablespoons
almond milk
-
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
-
1-2 teaspoons
chili powder (depending on desired spiciness level!)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and set out a baking sheet with foil.
-
Drain chickpeas well. Rinse well with water and thoroughly drain.
-
Spread the chickpeas out on a clean paper towel and use your hands to gently roll and dry the chickpeas. Some of the skins will start coming off, and this is ok!
-
Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl and coat with1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic and onion powders. Mix well to combine.
-
Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Bake for a total of 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy to the touch.
-
In the meantime, coat broccolini with 1/2 tablespoon of oil and salt/pepper to taste and make avocado crema (instructions below)
-
Once chickpeas are crispy, add broccolini to the pan and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
-
Remove from oven and toss chickpeas and broccolini together.
-
For the avocado crema, use a blender (I used a magic bullet) to blend 1/2 of an avocado, 3 tablespoons of almond milk, garlic powder, and chili powder.
-
Add an additional 1 tablespoon of almond milk if crema is too thick.
-
Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
To serve, warm tortillas in the still-warm oven for two minutes. Then fill with chickpea and broccolini mixture, and top with avocado crema. Top with lime juice if desired, and enjoy!
