Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 medium, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 3 cups, chopped into bite-sized pieces Vegetables for skewers (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes)
- 8 pieces Metal or bamboo skewers
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, gluten-free breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and soy sauce or tamari.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse dough-like consistency. Avoid over-processing; the mixture should hold together but still have some texture.
Using your hands, divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into oblong patties or sausage-like shapes to fit the skewers.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning if you plan to grill the kebabs.
Thread the shaped kebab mixture onto the skewers, alternating with chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes).
For grilling: Preheat a grill to medium heat, lightly grease the grates, and cook the kebabs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and slightly charred.
For baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), place the kebabs on a greased baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
Serve the kebabs warm with gluten-free pita bread, hummus, or a side of fresh salad.
