Ingredients

• 400 g canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, flour, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture until a coarse, sticky dough forms. Be careful not to over-process; you want the patties to have some texture.

Step 3

Using your hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 2.5 inches in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly coat your hands with flour while shaping.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, in a burger bun, or in a wrap with fresh vegetables.
