Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Dried basil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, almond flour, parmesan cheese, and egg. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but not completely smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a large bowl and add garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using a spoon or your hands until the spices are evenly distributed.
With slightly wet hands to prevent sticking, form the mixture into approximately 16 balls, about 1.5 inches each, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the chickpea balls with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or as an accompaniment to a salad.
