Chickpea Cakes are a savory dish inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, crafted primarily from mashed chickpeas, herbs, and spices. Often seasoned with garlic, cumin, parsley, and paprika, these cakes are lightly pan-fried or baked until crisp on the outside and tender inside. Chickpeas are nutrient-dense legumes, offering plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and complex carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. The absence of animal products and reliance on healthy fats from olive oil or tahini further enhances their nutritional profile. While rich in beneficial nutrients, frying can add to their calorie density, so baking is a lighter alternative. Served with yogurt-based sauces or fresh salads, Chickpea Cakes are a wholesome, flavorful option for meals or snacks that cater to taste and balanced nutrition.
