Ingredients and substitutions:

  • Chickpeas - use canned or make them at home in the Instant Pot!
  • Shallot - or sub red, white or yellow onions.
  • Celery - you can also try fennel.
  • Garbanzo bean flour - binds the patties together and keeps them gluten free. Feel free to use wheat flour.
  • Spices: cumin, coriander, and aleppo pepper are called for in the recipe, but feel free substitute or omit spices as you'd like :) If using, aleppo pepper is likely one you will need to order online or find at a specialty market, but it adds an amazing fruity and mildly spicy flavor. If substituting another type of chili powder, start with a smaller amount.
  • Salt
  • Olive oil - for searing the patties.
  • Herbed yogurt - optional, but delicious!

How to make chickpea patties:

Mash the chickpeas: In a large bowl, use a potato masher or fork to mash up the chickpeas until they are broken down into smaller pieces. See photo below as a guide.

Form into patties: Stir in the shallot, celery, garbanzo bean flour, and spices. Form into 2 inch wide patties.

Sear: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the chickpeas and cook on each side until golden, cooking in two batches if needed.

Description

Vegan Chickpea Patties - golden pan seared patties with fluffy interiors and crispy edges. A healthy recipe that feels restaurant worthy!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (15)oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed or 1 ½ cups home cooked chickpeas
  • ¼ cup minced shallot
  • ¼ cup minced celery
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garbanzo bean flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon aleppo pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1-3 teaspoons water, just enough to get the patties to hold together.
  • 2-4 tablespoons olive oil

Herbed Yogurt

  • ½ cup coconut yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill or other herbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, use a potato masher or fork to mash up the chickpeas until they are broken down into smaller pieces. 

Stir in the shallot, celery, garbanzo bean flour, coriander, cumin, aleppo pepper, and salt. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time until the mixture holds together when pressed. Form into 2 inch wide patties.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the patties and cook on each side until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Cook in two batches if needed.

While the patties are cooking, stir together all of the yogurt ingredients in a medium bowl. Serve with the warm patties. Enjoy!

Notes

Aleppo pepper: If using, the aleppo pepper it is likely you will need to order online or find at a specialty market, but it adds an amazing fruity and mildly spicy flavor. If substituting another type of chili powder, start with a smaller amount.

    Tastes good, quick and simple but please note there is no mention of adding water in the ingredients or recipe instructions, but I see it added in the video, which explains why mine fell apart like sand.

      These have a different flavor profile and texture than traditional falafel :) both are delicious!

    Delicious but mine fell apart... I tripled the recipe so maybe there was an issue with the proportions? Otherwise very tasty!

      Hi Laurie! I am sorry to hear that! It may have been something to do with tripling the recipe. Or there might not have been enough water to hold the patties together. I am thinking it may have been caused by the brand of chickpeas? Or possibly the pan/spatula that was used. A thin, thin metal spatula works the best for flipping these patties. If you make these again, I would be happy to troubleshoot!
