Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a spiral cutter, create twister shapes with the potatoes.

In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until fluffy and slightly stiff.

Gently fold the egg whites into the chickpea flour mixture, creating a thick batter.

Step 6

Dip each potato twister into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Place the coated potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil to promote even crisping in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately for the best texture.
