Ingredients

• 400 g can, drained and rinsed chickpeas
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 1 medium, grated and excess moisture squeezed out zucchini
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 80 g (or about 1 cup rolled oats, processed into a fine powder) ground oats
• 50 g (or about 1/2 cup) chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.

Step 2

Add the grated carrot, grated zucchini (make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible), chopped onion, minced garlic, coriander powder, cumin powder, ground oats, chickpea flour, and chopped cilantro to the mashed chickpeas.

Step 3

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.

Step 5

Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Cook each patty for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the veggie patties warm with your choice of fixings or side dishes.
