Ingredients
  

  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free oat flour or chickpea flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the base. Add chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and salt to a food processor. Pulse until mostly smooth but slightly textured.
  3. Add herbs and flour. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Stir in parsley, green onion, and gluten-free oat flour. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  4. Shape into bites. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Lightly flatten.
  5. Bake 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and slightly crisp outside.
  6. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

The exterior should feel firm, and the bottoms lightly browned. If too soft, bake 3–5 minutes longer.
