These Vegan Chickpea Patties are a nutritional powerhouse that's loaded with hearty flavors. Perfect for a barbecue or just a simple vegan friendly weeknight meal.
In a large bowl, use a fork to mash chickpeas until they are all smashed. Alternatively you can use a food processor to pulse them a few times until they are chopped but not pasty.
Add the panko, flax egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, smoke paprika, and black pepper and stir until evenly combined.
Form into nugget sized patties and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to the pan so that it is completely coated, then add the patties in batches to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
