Ingredients

To-Cook Veggies

  • 1 red onion peeled
  • 1 yellow onion peeled
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled
  • 3 carrots peeled
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded
  • 1 cup broccoli

No-Cook Veggies

  • 2 cups chickpeas canned, drained
  • 1/2 cup parsley
  • 1/2 cup corn canned
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway powder (ground caraway)

Instructions

  • 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.!
