Ingredients
- 400 grams canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Some texture can remain for added bite.
Step 2
Add the grated carrot, chopped red onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Stir in the cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4
Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs gradually, mixing until the mixture holds together well without being too dry. You may not need to use all the breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into patties, making each about ½ inch thick. You should get about 8 patties from this mixture.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray.
Step 7
Cook the patties in batches if necessary, for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Step 8
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, with a side salad or in a whole-grain bun as a burger.
