  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 1 Carrot
  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Parsley

Main Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can/carton Chickpeas (no salt added, rinsed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup Oats (instant, quick, or old-fashioned)

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Cooking Oil

  • 1/2 cup Avocado Oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the yellow bell pepper, red onion, and carrot using a food processor to achieve fine shreds of vegetables for the patties.
  2. Remove Excess Moisture: Place the grated vegetables in a colander lined with a paper towel and gently squeeze to remove any excess moisture. This helps the patties hold together better during cooking.
  3. Chop Herbs and Garlic: Finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic cloves to incorporate fresh flavors into the patties.
  4. Make Chickpea Dough: Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas along with the oats into the food processor and blend for about one minute until a dough-like consistency forms. This will be the base to bind the patties.
  5. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix together the chickpea dough, grated vegetables, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Form the mixture into four evenly sized patties.
  6. Heat Oil: Pour the avocado oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium heat until hot enough for frying.
  7. Cook Patties: Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown, crispy crust.
  8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the patties onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  9. Serve: Serve the chickpea patties warm as a main dish or sandwich filling and enjoy their savory, hearty flavors.

Notes

  • Using a food processor to grate the vegetables speeds up prep and gives a uniform texture.
  • Removing excess moisture from vegetables helps prevent soggy patties.
  • You can substitute avocado oil with other neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil for frying.
  • These patties can be baked at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes as a healthier alternative, flipping halfway through.
  • Leftover patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
