Savor the crispy texture and rich flavors of these Flavorful Chickpea Fritters, perfect for a snack or appetizer.

Scale

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp canola oil (or any other neutral oil like grapeseed)

1 tsp ground cumin (for best flavor and aroma)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur all-purpose flour)

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp water

tahini sauce for serving

1 tbsp chopped parsley

1 can chickpeas (15 oz

rinsed and thoroughly drained)

In a mixing bowl, mash the rinsed chickpeas until mostly smooth.
Add the salt, cumin, black pepper, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and flour to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the water until the mixture holds together.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form the chickpea mixture into small patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the patties with canola oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through until golden brown.
Serve warm with tahini sauce and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

For a vegan version, omit the parmesan cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
