BAKED CRISPY CHICKPEA SEITAN PATTIES RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C, or gas mark 4). Oil two cookie sheets *or line with parchment paper. Add everything except the wheat gluten flour and bread crumbs to a food processor and purée. Add 2⁄3 cup (80 g) of the gluten flour and process until combined. Then process a minute or two more, letting the food processor do the kneading for you. Put the mixture on a cutting board. Knead in the remaining 1⁄3 cup (40 g) wheat gluten. Cut the dough into 10 pieces, roll into little balls, and press into patties between your hands. You want to make the patties thinner than your desired end result because they will puff up some during baking. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate and press the patties into the crumbs, and then turn and press on the other side. The dough should still be wet enough for the bread crumbs to stick. Place the breaded patties on the sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip them over using a wide spatula and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more. Serving Suggestions & Variations Shape the dough into stars, strips, nuggets, or other shapes before coating. These freeze well, so make a double batch and enjoy them for a few effortless meals. Think vegan cheese and marinara sauce, use them in sandwiches, or use them to veganize some of your old favorite recipes.

CRISPY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Put the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or several paper towels and dry thoroughly. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with the smoked salt and toss again. Transfer in an even layer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, shaking the pan halfway through the baking time, until the chickpeas are crunchy, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool at least 1 hour; the chickpeas will become crunchier as they cool. These are best eaten within 1 day.
