This easy starter is high protein and quick to make – great for meal prep.
Ingredients
(serves 2 – 6 fritters)
1 400g can of chickpeas rinsed & drained
¼ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for GF)
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sesame/canola oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Hummus/tahini for serving
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, fresh herbs, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add two tablespoons of water and use a fork, blender or processor to combine the ingredients into a thick dough.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal parts and form into thin patties.
- In a large pan, heat the oil until simmering. Then add the chickpea fritters and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 2-4 minutes per side.
- Place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil, then serve with hummus, tahini, or any other creamy sauce.
