Notes:

• Aquafaba is the liquid in canned chickpeas. It is viscous, and often used as an egg replacer in vegan baking. Drain a can of chickpeas, reserving the liquid in a food storage container. Keep aquafaba refrigerated for up to one week. Three tablespoons aquafaba = 1 large egg. Use the chickpeas to make one of my other recipes, like Lemon Curry Chickpea Soup or Pizza Salad with Pepperoni Chickpeas!
