Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 eggs hard-boiled
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (use canned or cook dried chickpeas at home)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard yellow or dijon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 sprig rosemary
- ½ small red onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Crispy chickpeas: (optional)
- ½ cup cooked chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- A pinch salt
Garnish:
- Fresh rosemary
- Crumbled feta
- Roasted chickpeas
Instructions
- Air fry the chickpeas: Pat the drained chickpeas dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Spread the chickpeas on the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 375℉ for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket once midway, until golden brown and crispy. Let it cool down before using it for garnish.
- Separate the egg yolks and whites: Hard boil the eggs. Peel the eggs once cool enough to handle. Carefully cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place them in the food processor. Set the egg whites aside on a plate.
- Make the filling: To the food processor, add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, red onion, rosemary, one cup of chickpea, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings as needed.
- Fill the eggs: Spoon the chickpea mixture into each egg white half. You can use a piping bag for a neater presentation (optional).
- Garnish and serve: Top each filled egg half with roasted chickpeas, fresh rosemary, and crumbled feta.
Notes
- When roasting the chickpeas for the crunchy topping, spread them out in a single layer in the air fryer to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Additionally, allow the roasted chickpeas to cool completely before adding them as a garnish to prevent them from losing their crunch.
- Use a food processor to blend the filling for a smooth and creamy filling. If you want to keep a bite to the filling, you can mash the ingredients instead of blending them.
