Chickpea Croutons
1. Dump a can of chickpeas into a mesh strainer right above the sink. Thoroughly rinse under colder water using one hand to gently toss the white chickpeas in the water. This prevents any of the gas-like properties from happening once they are consumed. iykyk 🙊💨
2. Once rinsed, place on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil or baking-friendly parchment paper. Add the ingredients one at a time: Sunflower Oil, garlic powder, onion powder, tandoori masala, garam masala, texmex spice mix, turmeric, crush of black pepper and 1-2 pinches of salt.
3. Toss the ingredients together either with your clean hands, ladle, or spoon.
Baking Chickpeas in the Oven:
4. Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Bake in oven for 30-40 minutes, and toss the chickpeas at the halfway point.
Baking Chickpeas in the Airfryer:
5. Airfry at 375F (190C) for 12-15 minutes. Toss the chickpeas at the halfway point.
Assemble Your Dump & Shake Salad:
6. Divide the storebought salad kit into two tupperware containers, and any sachets that come inside the salad kit. Divide the remaining ingredients into the two tupperware containers: bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Finally, add your homemade Chickpea Croutons.
7. Close the container with the lid and now...SHAKE, SHAKE & SHAKE! 🕺🏻💃🏻
8. Uncover and enjoy your homemade Dump & Shake Salad with Chickpea Croutons straight from the Tupperware—because who needs more dishes?!
