About Chickpea balls

Chickpea Balls are a flavorful plant-based dish inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, often reminiscent of falafel. Made primarily from protein-rich chickpeas, these bite-sized delights are blended with herbs like parsley or cilantro, zesty garlic, onions, and warming spices such as cumin and coriander. Typically baked or fried for a satisfying texture, they’re naturally high in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting fullness. Chickpeas also provide essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate, supporting energy and overall health. While they are a nutritious option for vegetarians and vegans, frying them can increase calorie and fat content, making baked versions a lighter alternative. Serve chickpea balls in wraps, atop salads, or with tangy dips like tahini or yogurt to enjoy a wholesome and versatile dish.
