Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can Canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, almond flour, egg, garlic, and parsley. Add cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a thick, crumbly paste. You should still see small bits of chickpeas for texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the lemon juice.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should have roughly 12 patties.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the fritters from the skillet onto a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serve the chickpea fritters hot, accompanied by your favorite low-carb dip or sauce.
