Chickpeas are one of my favorite legumes because of their flavor and high fiber content. I have been wanting to make veggie patties for a long time. So I decide to go with this combo of chickpeas and zucchini over the typical black bean. They are surprisingly easy to make and so delicious. The recipe was inspired by one of my favorite YouTubers Sarah’s Day. These patties are great for a snack packed with protein. You can also use these patties for your own plant-based burger.
My friends and family loved them! I’m off to make my second batch! Let me know if you have any questions. Don’t forget to tag me on my health Instagram @XOHealthEdit if you make these patties!
