A couple of weeks ago on my Instagram stories I asked what recipes people wanted to see more of. A recurring theme quickly emerged: you wanted “fast”, “easy”, “prep-ahead”, “one-bowl”, “one-pan”… etc.
These Crispy Chickpea Patties not only fit the bill, but they’re fresh and full of light Spring flavors, while still being hearty enough to keep you full all afternoon or evening. You only need six ingredients to make them (not counting salt, pepper, and olive oil for frying… but you should have those on hand already). AND, you’ll only dirty one bowl and one pan to make them. They come together in under half an hour and are delicious served with a super easy Dill-Yogurt Dressing.
Ingredients:
Chickpea Patties
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 heaping tbsp minced garlic
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
Dill-Yogurt Dressing
- 1 cup dairy-free yogurt (I like this cashew yogurt and this coconut yogurt)
- 1/4 cup avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp sea alt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried dill
Instructions:
- Drain chickpeas and either mash by hand with a potato masher, OR toss into either a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse for just 10-15 seconds, until chickpeas are mashed but still retain a good texture. If a few chickpeas are still whole, that’s great.
- Transfer chickpeas to a large mixing bowl, add in remaining ingredients (except olive oil), and combine.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a few tablespoons of olive oil, and once the oil starts to shimmer, add in your patties. You can either use a 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup measuring cup to evenly form your patties, depending on how large you want them to be. Make sure they’re packed in tightly, so that they hold together while cooking. Cook until crispy and golden brown on the bottom, and then flip.
- While patties are cooking, whisk together ingredients for the Dill-Yogurt Dressing in a small mixing bowl, let sit for 5-6 minutes, and then serve dolloped on top of the patties.
- Enjoy!
