Ingredients:
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli or cauliflower
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas, mashed
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or coriander
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Squeeze excess moisture from grated zucchini.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until a thick, workable mixture forms. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs or oats.
Scoop small portions and roll into bite-sized balls. Place them evenly on the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and lightly crispy on the outside.
Let them rest for a few minutes before serving—they firm up as they cool.
