Ingredients

  • 2 c cooked chickpeas (drained if using canned)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 Tbsp BBQ sauce (of your choice)

  • 2 Tbsp breadcrumbs
  • Hawaiian Cole Slaw (for topping)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place chickpeas, garlic, BBQ sauce, and red pepper flakes in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until chickpeas break down and a thick paste begins to form.
  2. If the chickpeas are too dry to create a paste, add water or reserved chickpea boiling liquid a little at a time until the mixture is thick and sticks together.
  3. Place mixture in a medium bowl. Mix in breadcrumbs until the mixture will hold together in patty form when shaped.
  4. Spray a non-stick skillet with baking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  5. Shape chickpea mixture into patties, 3-4 inches in diameter. Place patties on the hot skillet.
  6. Cook over medium-high heat 5-7 minutes per side, until the sides begin to brown and the patty becomes firm.
