Begin by draining and rinsing the chickpeas under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, almond flour, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky for added texture.
Once combined, transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the almond flour to absorb some of the moisture, making the patties easier to shape.
After resting, divide the mixture into four equal parts using your hands, form each part into a patty approximately 3 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure that the pan is hot before adding the patties to prevent sticking.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Chickpea Patties warm. They can be served as a main dish with a side salad or as part of a keto-friendly sandwich.
