These IKEA-style Veggie Balls are made with chickpeas, carrots, broccoli, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, corn, and peas. They are flavorful and easy to make. Packed with flavor and nutrients.
Use a food processor to chop the To-Cook Veggies (onions, garlic, carrots, red bell pepper, and broccoli).
Cook the chopped veggies in a large pan over medium to high heat until soft.
Now chop in the food processor the No-Cook Veggies (chickpeas, parsley, corn, and peas).
Add the cooked veggies, spices, and breadcrumbs to the chickpea mixture and chop until everything is well combined.
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
Form evenly-sized balls (this works best if you use a small ice cream scoop and then roll them in your hands to smooth them out). Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. You can spray them with oil for a bit more crispiness.
Bake them for 25 minutes at 350°F/180°C until golden and crispy on the outside.
Then they are ready to enjoy with rice, mashed potatoes, couscous, in wraps, in salads, etc.!
