1 - Can of chickpeas: from which you will use both the chickpeas and the aquafaba (the chickpea soaking liquid)
- Smoked paprika, salt and black pepper, to taste
Q.s. - Cornflakes or other cereal flakes
- Frienn Spray by Olitalia for air fryer
Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid (aquafaba) in a separate bowl.
Blend the chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of aquafaba until completely smooth, then stir in the salt, smoked paprika, pepper, or any other spices you like.
Take a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a nugget using your hands. Dip each nugget first into the aquafaba, then coat thoroughly in the cereal flakes (crushed beforehand by hand).
Arrange the nuggets in the basket of your air fryer and use Frienn Spray by Olitalia.Air fry at 200°C for 5 minutes, then flip the nuggets over and spray again. Fry for a final 5 minutes until crisp.
