But enough bragging about these little guys, let them show you what they’re really made of by trying this recipe!

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups chickpeas, rinsed + dried(make sure they’re really well rinsed, this will help reduce gas you might get when consuming beans)

• 2.5 TBSP nutritional yeast (a fabulous cheesy alternative)
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions
