  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup oat flour

Instructions

1. 1. Start by placing the drained and rinsed chickpeas, grated zucchini, carrot, minced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic, black pepper, and paprika into a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it’s well combined, but still slightly chunky.

2. 2. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, carefully shape the chickpea mixture into small, uniform nuggets.

3. 3. Roll each nugget in the oat flour or breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

4. 4. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully add the coated nuggets and fry them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and heated through.

Notes

Leftover Chickpea Nuggets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes, or until they’re crispy and heated through.
