Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 0.5 cup onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika

- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas and mix well.
- Stir in the breadcrumbs and beaten egg to bind the mixture.
- Form the mixture into 8 equal patties, about 2.5 inches in diameter.
- Place the patties in the slow cooker, lightly coated with olive oil, to prevent sticking.
- Cook on low for 2 hours, or until the patties are firm and heated through.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or in a bun with fresh vegetables.
Notes
For crispier patties, you can pan-fry them for 2-3 minutes per side after slow cooker cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
