Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup carrot
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly in a colander to remove any excess sodium.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, chopped red onion, grated carrot, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley. Pulse until the mixture is blended but still has some texture.
Step 3
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, lemon juice, and black pepper to the chickpea mixture. Pulse again to combine.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the whole wheat breadcrumbs and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and can be formed into patties.
Step 5
Form the mixture into 8 even-sized patties.
Step 6
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Cook the chickpea patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm on whole grain buns, a salad, or on their own as a nutritious snack.
