Ingredients
- 1 ounce can chickpeas
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2-4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the chickpeas by draining and rinsing them thoroughly to reduce sodium content.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chickpeas with flour, Parmesan cheese, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water. Mash the mixture with a fork or a potato masher until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve a thick, moldable consistency.
- Form the mixture into small, flat patties, about ½ inch thick.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the fritters warm with your choice of dip, such as tzatziki or hummus, or with fresh lemon wedges.
