In a food processor combine all the nuggets ingredients (chickpeas, chickpea water, 1 tbsp. chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt). Grind it smooth.
In a small bowl combine another 1 tbsp. chickpea flour, water and salt and stir it until smooth. Keep it aside. Prepare panko crumbs in a plate and keep it aside.
Now, take about 1 tbsp. heaped ground chickpeas mixture and form a round flat patty between your palms. Make sure the side do not crack.
Dip/coat the small patty completely it in the chickpea flour mixture making sure that it is covered from all sides. Then roll it in panko from all sides. Place it on a flat plate. Repeat all the tree steps for the rest of the batter dough.
Pre-heat oven at 425-degree Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with a parchment paper. Place all the nuggets on the prepared baking sheet and bake it in the middle rack of the oven for 30 minutes. Once done, turn it off and take it out. Or Airfry: Place each of the prepared nuggets in the air fryer basket. Attach it to the air fryer and turn it on at 400 degree for 12 minutes. Once done, detach the basket. Garnish and serve.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with ketchup or mayo or ranch.
