Ingredients

2x 400g tins chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
1 cup packed spinach
1 big handful fresh parsley
4 garlic cloves
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 cup wholemeal flour (or flour of choice)
salt and pepper

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Add all ingredients to a food processor and process until well combined.
Shape into balls and gently flatten the top and bottom slightly so they will sit on the baking tray. Give the mixture a good squeeze before shaping to ensure they stick together.
Bake for 20-30mins, flipping half way through if desired to get an even crisp.
Enjoy on a salad, in a wrap, or by themselves dipped in your favourite sauces or hummus.
