Description
Delicious and crispy chickpea fritters made with fresh veggies and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup finely chopped veggies (bell peppers, carrots, spinach, etc.)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the rinsed chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the finely chopped veggies, onion, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
- Gradually mix in the flour until the mixture binds together. If it feels too wet, add a little more flour.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties or fritters, about 2-3 inches wide.
- In a skillet, heat a few tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the fritters in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to use any leftover veggies you have on hand.
- These fritters make a great snack or appetizer!
