Instructions
Chickpea flour tarts
- Preheat oven to 180 °C. Brush 6 tart molds (7 cm diameter) with a little bit of olive oil.

- Spread the dough into 6 tart molds and bake for approx. 15 minutes or until crisp and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down completely.
Purple sweet potato dip
