Whipped tofu bowls with roasted veggies & chili crisp(y) chickpeas.
A rendition to all the hummus, cheese and various dip bowls that have been floating around on my explore lately.
The whipped tofu has a cheesy flavour with a fluffy texture so it’s not too dense and heavy— so it’s a lighter, yet satisfying meal that’s perfect for transition season covering the basics: protein from the tofu, carbs from the chickpeas (+ bread), fats from the oil and veggies 🫡.
Secret to crispy chickpeas that actually stay crunchy: potato starch!! Just like with tofu, if you coat it in potato starch first they get that store-bought crispness. You can also air fry or bake them, but they don’t stay as crunchy for long which is fine if you’re eating it asap.
