Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
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.
