CHICKPEA FRITTERS RECIPE
Ingredients:
1 small can chickpeas (425g)
1 large egg
1/2 cup chickpea flour (60g)
1/2 cup oat flour (50g)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (65g)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or hand blender. Aim for a rough texture—don’t puree completely.

Add the egg, chickpea flour, oat flour, applesauce, baking powder, garlic powder, thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix until smooth. Let the batter rest while you prepare the vegetables.

Finely chop vegetables like onions, peppers, and parsley. Grate vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, or sweet potato using a box grater.

Gently fold the prepared vegetables into the batter using a spatula, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.

Scoop approximately 80g of the mixture and shape it into patties with your hands.

For Pan-Frying: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden but not overly browned.

For Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the patties in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes.

Serve the chickpea fritters with a Greek yogurt dip, coleslaw, or your favorite salad.

Enjoy!
