Instructions :
- To Make the Chickpea Meatballs
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the chickpeas, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, soy sauce, paprika, cumin and black pepper into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade.
- Pulse the food processor until the ingredients are finely chopped and well mixed. Don't overblend or your meatballs will be mushy.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet or oven safe skillet with about half of the oil.
- Roll the chickpea mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls (you should get about 16 of them).
- Arrange the balls on the baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with the remaining oil.
- Bake the meatballs for about 30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until lightly browned. Copyright: Kitchen Blog Nindi
