Savor the satisfying flavors of these **Low Carb Chickpea Patties**, a wholesome twist on a classic favorite that's both delicious and nutritious. Perfect for vegetarians and low-carb enthusiasts, these patties combine protein-rich chickpeas, almond flour, and aromatic spices like cumin and coriander for a dish bursting with flavor. Fresh parsley, onion, and garlic elevate the taste, while the quick cook time (just 10 minutes!) makes them an ideal choice for weekday meals. Pan-fried to golden perfection in olive oil, these patties are wonderfully crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve them as a protein-packed snack, a main dish with a fresh salad, or even tucked inside low-carb wraps for a versatile and guilt-free dining experience.
Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until most are crushed but some small bits remain for texture.
Add the egg, almond flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas and mix until well combined.
With your hands, form the mixture into 8 round patties, about 1/2 inch thick each.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chickpea patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the patties warm, either as is, in a low-carb bread, or with a fresh salad.
