Chips de grão-de-bico
Ingredientes
- 1 xícara Farinha de grão de bico - besan, gram, garbanzo bean flour
- 2 colheres de sopa Azeite Extra Virgem
- 2-3 colheres de sopa Água morna
- ½ colher de chá sal
especiarias
- ¼ colher de chá Pó de alho
- ¼ colher de chá Cominho
- ¼ colher de chá Cúrcuma
Instruções
- Pré-aqueça o forno a 350 ° C (180 ° F).
- Measure your flour and sieve with a fine-mesh sieve. Press the flour lumps onto the mesh to get the thin particle of flour to go through. Discard the small impurities left inside the sieve.
- Stir in spices, olive oil, and lukewarm water. Start mixing with a spoon, then knead with your hands. Depending on the type of chickpea flour you used, you may have to add more water or flour. If too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you can form a ball the size of an orange. The dough is tough but not wet or sticky. If sticky or wet, add sifted flour.
- Divide the dough in half. Place half of the dough between two pieces of parchment paper – you can sprinkle some chickpea flour on the paper to prevent the dough from sticking to your paper.
- Press dough with your hand, start to roll as thin as possible – the thinner, the crispier! I recommend rolling the dough into a 5×9-inch rectangle (12×24 cm) to make 28 thin, crunchy chips. Watch my picture above in this post to see how I fold my paper to encase the dough into a rectangle shape and make perfect triangle tortillas.
- Peel off the top piece of parchment paper, cut out triangles. I get 28 tortilla chips from half the dough and spread them apart to prevent the chips from touching each other.
- Slide the piece of parchment paper with the chickpea tortilla chips onto a baking sheet.
- Bake on the center rack for 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, repeat the same process to roll the leftover dough and create more chips.
- Serve on its own or with guacamole, hummus, or as a base to loaded nachos.
- Store for up to 2 weeks in a dark, dry place in a sealed container.

Ingredientes e Substituições
It’s very easy to make your own chickpea chips at home using three simple ingredients. All you need to make crunchy besan crackers are:
- Farinha de grão de bico, also known as besan flour or garbanzo flour. While besan flour and garbanzo flour are not exactly the same thing, both having different amounts of fiber and water absorption in recipes, they both work to make chickpea chips.
- Azeite or neutral oil like almond oil or melted coconut oil.
- Favorite Spices – optional, you can make plain chickpea chips, but we love adding garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin, and a pinch of turmeric to boost their yellow color and make them look like chickpea flour tortilla chips.
You can use any sort of chickpea flour but keep in mind that variety impacts water absorbance.
There are two types of chickpea flour available at the grocery store:
- Besan flour or gram flour is made from brown roasted chickpea, and it’s much finer. It needs less water.
- Chickpea flour or Garbanzo bean flour is made from white roasted chickpeas. This is coarser than besan flour and needs more water to come together.
That’s why this chickpea cracker recipe provides a range of water that you will have to adjust depending on the type of chickpea flour you used.

Sugestões de veiculação
These chickpea chips are delicious on their own as a healthy snack food but even better dipped in:
- Guacamole
- Hummus
- Molho
Another great idea is to make a platter of loaded nachos using your chickpea tortilla chips as a healthy nacho replacement. Spread a layer of chickpea chips on a baking sheet and top with a layer of carne de taco de lentilha, vegan cheese, and bake 6-8 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve the chickpea chips topped with salsa sauce, coconut cream, mashed avocado, and cilantro.

That sounds so good! Thanks for sharing with me.
Hello Carine

There’s no cheese in the recipe, so I am not too sure what you mean. I never use dairy in my recipes, if you see vegan cheese, you can swap for nutritional yeast or leave it out. Enjoy.
Any advice on adding nutritional yeast? A cheesy flavor sounds great, but I’m worried the amount I would need might change the batter significantly.
I don’t think you’d need to add too much of it to be honest! What you can do is mix nutritional yeast with paprika and salt and sprinkle that on the chips at the end.
These are so good I added a sprinkle of nigella seeds too.
Fab recipe
I made these with Besan & salt only, no other seasoning. They turned out perfectly & they do stay crunchy when stored. I did have to bake them a bit longer even though mine look thinner, but I know that’s probably just my oven. I ate them with an almond & sun-dried tomato spread. It was such a filling & delicious snack.
My dough did seem to dry out pretty fast, so I had to work quickly (I used avocado oil though & Idk how that impacts the dough). I used all 3 tablespoons of water (I might use a bit more next time since my flour seems to be highly absorbent).
Do you think this recipe could be made without oil? Or is there a substitute that could be used potentially?
I’ve never tried without oil, I don’t think it’d really work to be honest.
Do you think it might work if I would soak my own chickpeas first and grind them in a blender? How might the recipe measurements change? Does one cup dry flour equal two cups soaked, drained beans in a blender? It might be hard for me to get flour sometimes I think. Tia.
Unfortunately no, you do need chickpea flour for this recipe.
Looks like a great recipe! Thanks for sharing I really hope it comes out okay. Why does it say 3 grams of sugar per serving? I thought there is no sugar in chickpea flour.
There’s 10 grams per cup of naturally occurring sugars within the chickpeas.
There’s definitely some sugar in chickpea flour, about 10 grams for every 100 grams.
This looks like a great chickpea chips recipe, and I look forward to trying it. Thanks for the recipe and detailed instructions!
I rarely comment on these. But I have to say, this is one of my favorite recipes. I use the published ingredients as a base and then embellish the seasonings according to my tastes or interests (e.g., Italian, Mexican, etc.) The experimental opportunities are numerous! I may adjust the other ingredients depending on what I’m wanting to toss in (i.e., water or oil type additions).
This is the only recipe that seems to work for. It’s highly flexible! I love it!
