- Chopped fresh herbs, dried herbs, or spices (as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chips evenly.
- Prepare Batter: In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
