Calories: 146kcal
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup quinoa see notes
- 1 ½ cup chickpeas garbanzo beans, 1 can rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup onion chopped, about ½ a medium onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- ¼ cup chickpea flour see notes
Instructions
- Add the quinoa and ⅔ cup of water to a small saucepan. Cover and simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, add the drained chickpeas, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl. Mash the chickpeas and seasonings with a potato masher or large fork.
- Str in the cooked quinoa, parsley, and onion. Mix well.
- Add the chickpea flour and mix the chickpea patty mixture with your hands. Test that you can form a ball and mash it without it falling apart. If it does, knead a little more. Add another tablespoon of chickpea flour if necessary.
- Divide the chickpea mixture into 4 equal pieces. Then, form patties and add them to the baking sheet.
- Bake the patties for about 20 minutes until they start to firm and brown. Flip and bake for another 10 minutes.
Notes
- ⅓ cup of dry quinoa makes 1 cup cooked. If you are using leftover quinoa, use 1 cup.
- Chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour) is made from ground-up dried chickpeas and is naturally gluten-free.
- The best substitute is oat flour, which you can make by grinding oats into a fine powder.
- Air fry chickpea patties at 350 F (175 C) for 11-13 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Store leftover patties for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. Store the unbaked chickpea mixture in an airtight container for 2-3 days before baking the patties.
- To reheat, wrap the patties in foil so they don't burn on the outside before getting hot inside.
