Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas, mashed
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1 small zucchini, grated and squeezed
  • ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup oats
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash chickpeas until mostly smooth. Add grated carrot, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, garlic, parsley, oats, breadcrumbs, and spices. Mix well.
  3. Let the mixture chill for 20 minutes to firm up.
  4. Form small balls using a spoon or scoop and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp.

  • Chilling the mix helps hold the shape better.
  • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and crispier texture.
