Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a potato masher or a fork until they form a rough paste.
Add almond flour, chopped parsley, finely chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to hold together; if too wet, add a little more almond flour.
Shape the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm as a main dish or a snack, paired with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
