Ingredients

1 15-ounce can chickpeas rinsed, drained
¼ cup all purpose flour
¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons canola oil

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, all purpose flour, parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add two tablespoons of water and use a fork or masher to combine the ingredients until they are well blended.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal parts and form into thin patties.
In a large pan, heat the oil until it's shimmering. Then add the chickpea fritters and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 2-4 minutes per side.
Place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil, then serve with tahini sauce or any other sauce of choice.
