Ingredients
- 2 cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (packed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup quick oats (gluten free)
- ½ cup shredded carrots
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!
