I would descend on those like a vulture on a carcass.

I bet this would be great with some garam masala spice
Or ras el hanout!
Mmm spiced air
Serve with a can of PerriAir.
I had an aneurysm trying to decipher what spiced air was.
Lemmy users reading more than 2 words challenge: impossible
I fear my brain is spiced-air fried
lol I added a readability hyphen :)
This looks incredible! It's good to see vegan dishes that aren't trying to pretend to be meat. You can do things with chickpeas that no meat could even dream of imitating!
goes on salads and in soups
Lol no. They don't last that long.
I basically air fry all my beans at this point, it totally turned me around on beans. I used to just think of them as a necessary evil to get my protein, but I'll just eat air fried beans by the handful lol
I wonder if you can airfry the 15 bean soup?
I love making air fried chick peas. I usually put lemon pepper seasoning on them, just because I have a lot of it that I need to use, but it tastes great.
The inner quarter or the outer quarter?
fiber wise about even but the outer quarter will taste better and have more crunch ;)
Tangentially related: has anyone tried air frying falafel?
I've tried it in a two-drawer Ninja. 10 minutes at 290C makes it crisp on the outside and soft in the middle, just the way I like it.
with great success, both the pre made balls and the mix! they don't need very much time even from the refrigerator like 4-5 minutes max at 400°.
With the mix it's important to make as many as they specify in the directions so like it might say 16 and they only come out really small if you do 16 but they cook through and you don't end up with soggy middle. Every time i try to cheat and make fewer larger ones they aren't as good. I have never made them in the pan so idk if this is comparative.
here's some pre made balls air fried with olive oil brushed on
lol i didn't mean for it to crop it like that but it's hilarious
The frozen premade ones from Costco, yes haha.
For a non vegan version of this I like to fry chick peas in bacon fat and then either eat them as is or add them to my eggs. The frying changes the texture a lot.
for non vegan
I think you misspelled "for a heart attack at 25"
I'm past 25 so I'm immune from this outcome
All things in moderation right?
Yeah, what's wrone with one heart attack every once in a while, as a treat?
Get three bypasses, quadruple free?
I like them with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and a lil' bit of chili.
Those look so good! What kind of air fryer do you have? I don't know if I keep buying ones that don't circulate air well enough or if it's something else, but between the two I've owned I haven't gotten a nice crisp on anything
So i picked up these thin gauge wire mesh baskets at the dollar store for a couple bucks and i found that stacking them with one facing down and then the other facing up on top of the first gets things really crispy. I haven't had much problem getting things crispy in general though even with my other containers and plates. It's an Instant Pot standalone air fryer, few years old model.
Ooh, oh my gosh that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the tip ^^
I use this
for my baked chick peas and its great. Can't recommend enough
What if I don't have an air fryer, nor the counter space to get an air fryer?
You can spread them out on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) and bake 30-40 min at 350°F, stirring every 10 minutes.
you can do them in a frying pan just have to be stirring constantly to avoid burning, 10-12 minutes at medium or 5-6 minutes at medium high. You may need a little more oil but it's kind of subjective you might not!
An air frier is a lot like a hot air oven with a fan. If you’ve got one of those, it should work just as well.
Yeah, technology connections did a nice video on it. Toaster ovens with interior fans are the most similar to the air fryer, nearly indistinguishable in some cases, but a convection oven can get a similar product, you just need to wait longer.
I've done this basically any seasoning you can find on corn nuts. But it's easier than working with hominy.
let's say i want to go from dried. would tossing them in the electric pressure cooker for 45 minutes, natural release, get me a nice soft chickpea that's too soft for this? that's what we do for hummus and it's smooth as something that's really smooth after we toss it in the blender
The simile master droppin’ bars.
I'm not the greatest simile dude of all time, that's my buddy C to whom I make tributes (who makes similes like some guy who is paid to make similes but really half-asses it just for fun)
yes i usually do an hour and manual release and they are plenty soft enough. I put 48oz of veggie stock in with 1lb of dried beans to really flavor maxx. to get them can firm you might try 30 minutes.
I have been having trouble getting my beans cooked all the way through but not falling apart. How do you do this? I have yet to achieve "can firm", even in an instant pot.
If this was at a party and I didnt know what it was, I would think it was popcorn chicken and then be gobsmacked when it tasted like chickpeas. 🤣
