Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup carrot
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly in a colander to remove any excess sodium.
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, chopped red onion, grated carrot, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley. Pulse until the mixture is blended but still has some texture.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, lemon juice, and black pepper to the chickpea mixture. Pulse again to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the whole wheat breadcrumbs and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and can be formed into patties.
Form the mixture into 8 even-sized patties.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the chickpea patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm on whole grain buns, a salad, or on their own as a nutritious snack.
