The other day at the food pantry that I volunteer at, we were giving away bags of dried chickpeas. My friend looked at the dried garbanzo beans and said "What are these?" I replied back to my friend and said "They are the most delicious bean that are perfect for many plant-based recipes."
Since my friend eats meat, she wanted to know what I make with chickpeas. I told her that chickpeas are awesome for vegan eggs, vegan tuna, vegan egg salad, hummus, and vegan chicken nuggets. Chickpeas are also delicious by themselves. You will love the nutty taste of chickpeas.

Canned or Dried Chickpeas ~ which are best?
You can use canned chickpeas or dried chickpeas. Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans. If you want to save money and use dried chickpeas, make sure to cook them longer so they are soft. I like to cook chickpeas in the pressure cooker as it saves so much time. If you use a pressure cooker, add 6 more minutes to the cooking time.
If you use canned chickpeas, make sure to save the liquid from the can. The liquid from a can of chickpeas is called aquafaba and it can be used to make everything from vegan chocolate mousse to plant-based crab cakes.
Chickpea Nuggets are easy to make
Making these vegan nuggets is super simple. The easiest way to make the plant-based nuggets is with a food processor. You simply put all the ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the chickpeas with the bottom of a glass.
Once you have the mashed-up chickpeas along with the other ingredients, you then form it into a nugget shape. The mixture can be made into many different shapes of nuggets.
Then it is time to bake the vegan nuggets. I made mine in an air fryer but you can also bake them in the oven. To save time on cleaning my air fryer, I use disposable air fryer liners.
How to enjoy the chickpea nuggets
