Tip: You can use the cooking water from home-cooked chickpeas as aquafaba. Ideally, let it cool overnight with the chickpeas so it becomes slightly gelatinous, then strain and use it chilled. Be careful that it's not too runny. Alternatively, use 3 egg whites and bake for 15 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius (325 degrees Fahrenheit) using convection.
