Citric Acid Free Chickpea Flour Crepes with Herbs & Olive Oil

These savory crepes are thin, golden, and fragrant with rosemary and garlic — the kind of simple dish that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. Chickpea flour brings a naturally nutty, earthy depth that makes each crepe satisfying on its own, no filling required. Every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, which is exactly what you need when you're navigating a diet that rules out citric acid — a preservative and additive that sneaks into an alarming number of packaged foods. There's no lemon juice, no processed seasoning blends, no store-bought sauces; just flour, water, olive oil, fresh herbs, and spice. The batter rests before cooking, which helps the chickpea flour hydrate fully and gives you that cohesive, tender texture rather than something crumbly or stiff. A swirl of good olive oil in the pan and a sprinkle of flaky salt at the end are all the finishing touches you need. These are endlessly versatile — serve them as a light meal, a side, or a base for whatever toppings you have on hand.
