The combination of garlic powder and rosemary gives it an Italian touch. Chickpea flour is a good source of protein, fiber, and minerals, making it an excellent and healthy alternative to traditional pizza dough or flatbreads.

Serving Suggestions:

Chickpea farinata can be served as a savory snack, an appetizer, or a light lunch. It goes well with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt, and some fresh herbs such as parsley or basil. You can also top it with roasted vegetables, sliced tomatoes, olives, or cheese (if not keeping it vegan). Enjoy it hot or at room temperature.
