Chickpea-Walnut Taco Crumbles

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Make the taco seasoning: Add all seasoning ingredients to a small bowl or jar and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

Rinse and drain chickpeas.

Step 4

In a food processor, add chickpeas, walnuts, taco seasoning, and 1 Tbsp. water. (Plus nutritional yeast if using.)

Step 5

Pulse a few times until small/medium crumbles are formed. Don't over-process to super-fine crumbles, unless that's what you desire. (See notes below on how to achieve various textures.)

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out crumbles.

Step 7

Bake for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Stir, then return to oven and bake for 10-12 more minutes. (Or to desired crispiness.)
