Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, red onion, garlic, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, chili powder and sea salt. Blend until smooth, similar to a chunky hummus! Transfer mixture to a bowl and fold in quick oats and shredded carrots.

Use a ¼ cup measure to scoop mixture and form into patties. Place evenly on parchment paper.

Cook for 15-20 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until crispy and firm to touch.

Serve alone or in a pita sandwich, enjoy!
