    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    Vegan recipe: these vegan chickpea patties are entirely plant based as long as you use non-dairy sour cream as a garnish.

    Meal prep: this chickpea patty recipe is easily made ahead of time and are easily portable, reheating great in the microwave.

    Simple ingredients: this recipe is made with simple pantry staples and fresh, healthy ingredients!

    🥘 Ingredients

    Olive oil

    Frozen corn: thawed and patted dry

    Onion: I chose a yellow onion, but feel free to use red, white, or green onion

    Fresh thyme

    Canned chickpeas: also known as garbanzo beans

    Whole wheat bread

    Salt

    Black pepper

    Ground red pepper

    Garlic powder

    Cornmeal: used in the chickpea patties and also dust the outside before frying to make crispy patties.

    Cooking spray

    Sour cream

    Salsa

    Fresh parsley (optional)

    A bowl of cooked chickpeas.
    Drain and pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel before processing.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon oil and heat until hot.
    2. Add corn, onion, and minced thyme. Saute 2 minutes. Place corn mixture in a large bowl.
    3. Add chickpeas, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons cornmeal, salt, and red pepper flakes in a food processor. Pulse 8 times or until combined and chunky (not smooth).
    4. Transfer chickpea mixture to corn mixture and stir to combine.
    5. Using a ¼ cup measuring scoop, divide chickpea mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into ½ inch thick patty; dredge in cornmeal.
    6. Heat oil in frying pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Place patties in hot skillet; cook 5 minutes. Carefully turn patties over; cook 4 minutes or until golden brown. (you may need to do this in two batches.
    7. Serve with sour cream and salsa. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or fresh parsley if desired.

    🥄 Equipment

    Food processor

    Large nonstick skillet

    Wooden mixing spoon

    Mesh strainer (to drain the chickpeas)

    Turner

    Frozen corn in a white bowl.
    You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn for this recipe.

    🥫Storage

    Refrigerate: store leftover chickpea patties in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days.

    Freeze: store in a freezer safe airtight container in the freezer up to 3 months.

    Reheat: warm thawed chickpea patties in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat, or on a microwave safe plate in the microwave until warmed through.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute your favorite fresh herbs for the thyme .
    • Use red onion in place of the yellow onion.
    • Canned corn or fresh corn can be substituted for the frozen corn.
    • Add 1 tablespoon chili powder to the chickpea mixture for added flavor.
    • Stir in ¼ cup nutritional yeast powder go add a cheese like flavor to the patties.
    • All purpose flour can be substituted for the cornmeal

    💭 Tips

    • A food processor saves time, but if you don't have one, you can use a potato masher instead for mashing the chickpeas.
    • Place chickpeas in a mesh strainer and rinse with water to remove excess starch buildup. Lightly pat with a paper towel ro remove excess moisture.
