Salt and pepper to taste

1 Seasoning (I used tsp each: garlic powder and yellow mustard)

2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

1

Drain the chickpea water from the can into a small bowl and set it aside for later.

Add the drained chickpeas along with the tofu, salt, pepper and seasoning of choice into a food processor and process until a smooth dough forms. Adjust the taste to your liking and roll it into 20 small balls- 25 grams each.

3

Mix breadcrumbs or blended gluten free cornflakes with sesame seeds.

4

Dip the chickpea-tofu balls in the reserved aquafaba and transfer straight into the breadcrumbs. Toss them around until fully coated.

5

Spray with oil and air fry for 12-15 minutes on 200°c / 390°f, flipping them around every 5 minutes.

6

Meanwhile, mix tahini, harissa, lemon juice, salt, pepper and water until smooth.

7

Serve the crispy air fried balls immediately with the tahini dip. Enjoy!
