Ingredients
Parsley & Tahini Dip (recipe, this page):
Method
In food processor, pulse chickpeas, flour, garlic, onion, parsley, mint, nutritional yeast, lemon zest, cumin and baking powder until combined and mixture reaches coarse consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400°F; line baking sheet with parchment paper. With wet hands, shape chickpea mixture into 2-inch balls, about 1/4 cup at a time. Place balls on prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly. Using pastry brush, brush croquettes with oil.
Bake, flipping halfway through cooking time, until croquettes are golden brown, about 20 minutes. (Make-ahead: Can be stored in airtight container and refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.) Serve hot or cold with Parsley & Tahini Dip.
