Recipe Summary

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
• Your favorite dipping sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Stir in the breadcrumbs and beaten egg until the mixture holds together.
4. Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about the size of a small palm. You should get about 8-10 patties.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Helpful Tips

• For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the chickpea mixture.
• If the mixture feels too dry, add a small amount of water or chickpea liquid to achieve the desired consistency.
• These patties can be baked instead of fried for a healthier option. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Storage Instructions

Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain their crispiness.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
• Replace parsley with cilantro for a different flavor profile.

Pairings

These chickpea patties pair beautifully with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or tucked into warm pita bread with tzatziki sauce. For a refreshing drink, serve with a glass of mint-infused lemonade or iced tea.
