"Cheez-It" Roasted Chickpeas
Inspired by Fooduzzi [1] and VeganYumYum [2]
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup unsalted, roasted cashews
1/2 lemon, juiced
3/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, patted dry
Cayenne, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- In a food processor, create the "cheese" sauce by blending all ingredients together (except for chickpeas and cayenne), until a mixture resembling peanut butter forms.
- In a large bowl, rub the "cheese" sauce all over the chickpeas until evenly coated.
- Transfer to a baking sheet, sprinkle cayenne on top, and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until crunchy and toasted. Use a flat spatula to flip chickpeas halfway through cook time and break up any clumps.
- Once cooked, allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
