INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup (180 grams) of chickpeas
  • 1 cup (180 grams) of grated zucchini
  • 2 cups (360 grams) of bread pieces
  • 3 tsp (45ml) of nutritional yeast
  • 3 tsp (45ml) of Italian seasoning
  • ¾ tsp (4ml) of salt
  • 2 tsp of oil if pan frying or to grease your baking tray if needed

RECIPE

  1. Pre-heat the oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if baking.
  2. Mash your chickpeas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher.
  3. Grate the zucchini with the largest holes on a cheese grater, then add it to your large bowl.
  4. Tear up your bread pieces into small chunks in the bowl.
  5. Add your seasonings, then blend everything well using a fork or your hands.
  6. Form the mixture into small, evenly sized patties.
  7. Place your patties on a baking sheet or in the air fryer to cook until golden brown. About 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your patties. Flip the patties halfway through the cooking time and making sure they are turning a nice light brown color.
  8. If pan frying, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the patties to the pan. Cook on each side until lightly browned and they stick together, about 4-7 minutes on each side.
  9. Serve with your favorite sauce such as marinara, plant-based ranch dressing, ketchup, or BBQ sauce.
