Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup firm tofu, drained and crumbled
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
• 3 tablespoons water
• 10 pieces bamboo skewers, soaked in water
• 0.5 cup plain vegan yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon agave syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Prepare the flax egg by mixing the ground flaxseeds and water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.

Step 4

Add the crumbled tofu, red onion, red bell pepper, parsley, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the prepared flax egg to the mixture until everything is well incorporated.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized oval patties. You should get around 10 mini kebabs.

Step 7

Thread the mini kebabs onto the soaked skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown.

Step 9

While the kebabs are baking, prepare the yogurt mint sauce. In a small bowl, combine the vegan yogurt, mint leaves, and agave syrup. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 10

Serve the mini kebabs warm with a side of the refreshing yogurt mint sauce.
