Directions

Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2 –Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 3 –In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4 –Sauté the mixed vegetables, the chickpeas, the garlic powder, the smoked paprika, the oregano, the kosher salt, and the black pepper until the mixture is warmed through and evenly coated in the spices, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5 –Add the vegetable mixture and the flour to a food processor and pulse until a chunky but sticky paste forms, about 20-25 pulses.

Step 6 –Gently form the veggie dough into about 40-46 balls using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop or two spoons; do not roll the balls with your hands as this will cause them to become too dense. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7 –Use a pastry brush to brush the outsides of the veggie balls with the extra olive oil.

Step 8 –Bake the veggie dippers, rotating at the halfway mark, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes

Step 9 –Allow the dippers to cool for at least 5 minutes.

Step 10 –Serve the dippers drizzled with the sriracha dill sauce and sprinkled with the extra paprika.
