Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or set the air fryer to 200°C.
Pour the chickpeas into a bowl and mash them with a fork or a potato masher.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, extra virgin olive oil, almond flour or coconut flour, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper and mix well.
Take the mixture with a teaspoon and form the nuggets with your hands.
Place the nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in the air fryer basket.
Bake for 15 minutes in the oven or for 10 minutes in the air fryer, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
