Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork or potato masher until a chunky texture is achieved.
Add the grated carrot, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper into the mashed chickpeas.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 8 patties.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Paleo chickpea patties warm, either on their own or with a side salad or dipping sauce of your choice.
