Delicious and crispy Flavorful Chickpea Fritters, perfect for a snack or appetizer, served with a delightful tahini sauce.

Scale

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp canola oil (or any other neutral oil like grapeseed)

1 tsp ground cumin (for best flavor and aroma)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur all-purpose flour)

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp water

tahini sauce for serving

1 tbsp chopped parsley

1 can chickpeas (15 oz

rinsed and thoroughly drained)

In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, salt, ground cumin, black pepper, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and water. Blend until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture and shape them into fritters, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle canola oil over the fritters to ensure they bake up crispy, then pop them into the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with tahini sauce and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

These fritters can be served warm or at room temperature. Adjust spices according to your preference for a spicier kick.
