Chickpea Snacks (Takes 2-3 Days)
Ingredients
- 2 t Salt
- 2 t Onion powder
- 2 t Garlic powder
- 1 t Dry mustard
- 1 t Turmeric
- 3/4 t White pepper
- 1/2 t Black pepper
- 1/2 t Cayenne
- 1 pk Artificial sweetner
- (1-gram) 1/2 lb Dried chickpeas
- 5 c Water
- 1 c Apple juice
- 1 c Vegetable stock
Method
- Combine 1 TABLESPOON ONLY of the seasoning mix with the artificial sweetener and set aside.
- Place the chickpeas and water in a container, add the rest of the UNsweetened seasoning mix, and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
- The peas will be more than double in volume, so make sure the pot is big enough to hold them.
- The next day: Place chickpeas and the (seasoned) soaking water in a 5 quart pot over high heat.
- Add apple juice and cook 20 minutes.
- Add vegetable stock and cook until peas are just tender, 40 minutes.
- Remove from heat, drain peas in colander, rinse well, and drain.
- Sprinkle peas evenly with reserved sweetened seasoning mix.
- Now you can cook them one of two ways. 1.
- Use a food dehydrator.
- Spread evenly around the trays and dehydrate until peas are dry and crunchy, about 20-22 hours. 2.
- Use an oven.
- Spread peas on cookie sheets or sheet pans and cook at 150 degrees until dry and crunchy, about 20-22 hours.
- COMMENTS: I didn’t have white pepper so used 1 teaspoon black pepper total.
- I tried this recipe both with and without the artificial sweetner and it’s better with it.
- Regular sugar doesn’t work at all.
- Did not have a dehydrator, dryed them in the oven.
- It took 15 hours one time, 20 hours another.
- Must have been the number of times I opened the oven door.
- You have to move the pans from one shelf to another and turn them every couple of hours or they won’t dry evenly.
- I did not stir the peas.
- Maybe Santa will bring me a dehydrator?
- Anybody out there in low fat land with a brand recommendation?
- Enjoy!
