i wanted to see if i could roast chickpeas this way instead of nuts because they're so much less expensive. it worked out really well! the only difference was the cook time. they took almost two hours since they're more moist but i ended up with lovely, crunchy, delicious spiced chickpeas. love this method, will make it again in an even larger quantity!
this is similar to my recipe. I whip the egg white first so it's fluffy and more volume. I also add some cooking oil so the nuts have a bigger roasted flavor. Then I drizzle some honey before mixing.
What a great recipe and video. It worked beautifully. One tip (learned the wrong way) scoop the nuts onto the pan. I guess my egg ratio was a bit off and too much egg meant cluster of nuts sticking together.🤦
Is the egg white mixture then whipped or mixed some? I see similar recipes whip the egg whites a bit to lighten them up some. Not to the merengue point tho.
Elle, very nice, the one thing i would do is if it is for a party/gathering, is leave out any kind of peanuts because someone may be allergic, as far as i know, all others would be a go.
@@stevelogan5475 No worries -- no need to apologize. But yes, I think it's advisable to NOT serve food that may harm your guests. I have a family member who is allergic to wheat, so I always make sure that I have options for her.
@@@auntlynnie good idea my friend, i have a cousin & she is allergic to shell fish so if we have a gathering with snacks, etc... i make sure she has something to snack on because we usually have 1 or 2 shrimp rings, God Bless you & yours
I haven't tried it, but I think you could. It's the same properties that make egg whites good for meringue that work here, I think, and you can use aquafaba in place of egg whites in those applications. I might try that next time I open some chickpeas, just because.
WHIPPING the egg whites, without water, then following the same instructions for seasoning and mixing. Bake for 30 mins, mixing every 10 mins. This will allow the nuts not to CLUMP up together but be more individually coated.
Jack Davis good considering I forgot all the sugar! I ended up putting them in brownies where the sweetness of the brownie made up for the more neutral walnut flavor!
the nuts were black on the bottom they were no good the video showed and said turn the pan halfway through. my wife said I should have flipped the nuts over not just turn the tray like the video showed. this is not a good video at all for people trying this recipe the first time its my first thumbs down ever it just made me mad
