Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs (sub almond meal or ground oats if making gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs (sub flax eggs if making vegan)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start by combining the first ten ingredients—everything from chickpeas to salt—in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is cohesive and mostly smooth.
  2. Using a small cookie dough scoop or measuring spoon, gather heaping tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls. You should end up with about 14 golfball-sized meatballs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, gently add your chickpea meatballs to the pan and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides.
  4. These delightful Chickpea Meatballs can be served with pasta, tucked into pita with fresh veggies, or tossed over a salad dressed in your favorite vinaigrette.
