Description
Delicious and healthy chickpea patties, perfect for a snack or meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas (or 3 cups cooked chickpeas)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup grated parmesan (or nutritional yeast)
- 3 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (pressed, minced, or grated)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 twists black pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. The mixture should stick together into patties. Add more water if necessary.
- Shape mixture into 12 small chickpea patties.
- Pick your favorite cooking method:
- a) Oven-bake: Arrange the chickpea patties on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F or 200°C for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- b) Pan-fry: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet. Add the patties and cook them on medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Turn them gently with a spatula halfway through cooking.
- c) Air-fry: Brush the bottom of your air fryer with oil to prevent the patties from sticking. Arrange the patties on a single layer, brush them with a lick of olive oil, and air fry them at 400°F or 200 °C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy with fresh parsley on top, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a dip or sauce of your choice.
Notes
- Add more water if the mixture is too dry.
- For a vegan option, use nutritional yeast instead of parmesan.
