Chickpea Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2

Add canned chickpeas to the food processor along with chopped onion, crushed garlic, nutritional yeast, soy sauce and tomato paste. Process until smooth.

Step 3

Add smoked paprika, coriander powder and cumin and process.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add breadcrumbs and fresh chopped parsley and mix in. Use your hands to form it into a dough.

Step 5

Scoop roughly tablespoon sized amounts of dough, roll them into balls and place evenly onto a parchment lined baking tray.

Step 6

Place the tray into the freezer for 15 minutes so that the balls can firm up.

Step 7

Remove the tray from the freezer and lightly brush each ball with olive oil.

Step 8

Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, turning the balls over once at the 10 minute mark.
