INGREDIENTS
1/2 can Chickpeas (120g, drained)
1 large Whole Egg (50g)
3 Egg Whites (approx. 95g total)
1/3 cup Rolled Oats (30g)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, rolled oats, whole egg, egg whites, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still retains a bit of texture.
Scoop the mixture with a tablespoon and roll into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring a little space between each.
Lightly flatten the balls with the back of a spoon to help them bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the edges turn golden and crispy. Flip halfway through baking if desired for extra crispiness.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a protein-packed snack or as a meal component.
