Ingredients

• 15 oz canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for frying)
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the garbanzo beans with a fork or potato masher until a slightly chunky but cohesive texture is achieved.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, flour, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the olive oil, egg, and breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together when pressed. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour or breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a splash of water.

Step 4

Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 small patties or 4 larger patties, depending on your preference.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the savory garbanzo patties immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, salad, or in a bun as a vegetarian burger.
