Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots and zucchini. Finely chop the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas, then mash them in a large bowl with a fork until almost smooth, leaving some texture.
Add the grated carrots, zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the mashed chickpeas.
Stir in the rolled oats to the vegetables and chickpea mixture.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and mix it with olive oil, then add to the veggie mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are combined and hold together.
Finely chop fresh parsley and fold it into the mixture.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 equally-sized patties, about ½ inch thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a bit more olive oil if necessary.
Cook the patties in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and firm.
Serve the patties warm, in a bun or alone, garnished with additional parsley or preferred toppings.
