Do I need to boil the chickpeas before blending?

Yes, the recipe specifies boiling and draining the chickpeas before combining them with basil, garlic, olive oil, ground oats, ground nuts, salt, and pepper in the blender.

Why do I need to chill the chickpea mixture?

Chilling the mixture in the fridge for an hour after kneading helps firm it up, making it easier to spread evenly in the oiled pan before baking.

How long should I bake the chickpea mixture?

After spreading it in an oiled pan, bake the mixture in a preheated oven at 350 degreesF for approximately 50 minutes until the surface is smooth.

What's the best way to get the crumbs after baking?

Once taken out of the oven and cooled slightly, use a fork to break the baked chickpea mixture into desired crumbs.

How can I use these chickpea crumbs and store leftovers?

You can add these versatile crumbs to green salads, rice, or bulgur. Store any remaining crumbs in a glass jar in the refrigerator.
