1 tablespoon of olive oil (plus some extra for frying)

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

200g dried chickpeas
# Instructions:
01 -
Fill a bowl with water and put the chickpeas in it to soak for a full day (24 hours).
02 -
After soaking, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Take half the chickpeas, add a pinch of salt to them, and blend them until they're just a bit chunky. Put this mixture in a big bowl. In a separate step, mix the rest of the chickpeas with the onion, miso, herbs, all the spices, vinegar, oil, cornstarch, and baking powder. Blend it all together until smooth, then combine both mixtures in the large bowl to create a unified dough.

Turn your oven to 200°C to preheat. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop a tablespoon of the dough, press it into a nugget shape in your hands, and place it on the tray. Lightly brush the nuggets with oil. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until they get that golden look.
