Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chickpeas
• 0.75 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water (as needed)
• 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas and rolled oats. Pulse until a coarse, sticky mixture forms. Scrape the sides occasionally to ensure an even texture.

Step 3

Transfer the chickpea-oat mixture to a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, chopped fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well using a spatula or your hands.

Step 5

If the mixture feels too dry to hold together, add 1–2 tablespoons of water and mix again until it is cohesive and moldable.

Step 6

Divide the mixture evenly and shape it around the skewers, forming a long cylindrical kebab shape. Ensure the mixture adheres to the skewer firmly.

Step 7

Place the kebabs on a parchment-lined baking sheet if baking, or on a plate if grilling.

Step 8

Brush the formed kebabs lightly with olive oil on all sides.

Step 9

If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping the kebabs halfway through for even browning.

Step 10

If grilling, preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the kebabs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and heated through.

Step 11

Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite dips, sauces, or flatbreads.
