Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water and let them sit to drain more while you prepare other ingredients.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained chickpeas and mash them using a fork or a potato masher until they are mostly broken down with some larger pieces for texture.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, coconut aminos, almond flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix everything until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, each about the size of your palm, making sure they hold together well.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside while still tender on the inside.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, accompanied by fresh salad greens or your choice of Whole30-approved sides.
