Ingredients
1 garlic clove8 oz. canned garbanzo beans, drained (half a can)2 T. egg whites1 tsp. cumin1 Tsp dried parsleyDash Salt & pepper1/2 Tsp. Italian seasoning1/2 Tsp. Chili Powder1/2 Tsp. Lemon Juice1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder1/8 c. Whole Wheat Flour / Bread Crumbs / Crushed crackers1/8 C. diced scallions or onion
Preheat oven to 375. In measuring cup, measure out your eggs and add all spices, lemon juice, baking powder, and bread crumbs or flour. Set aside.
Mash chick peas in a bowl with a fork. Some "chunks" are good - doesn't need to be put in a food processor! Chop your scallion finely as well as garlic, and add to chick pea bowl.
Add egg white mixture to chick pea mixture, and combine.
Spray a baking sheet with Pam. Spoon mixture onto palms and roll into rounded balls. I made 8, about the size of a golf ball.
Bake about 15 minutes. You can flip halfway through if you'd like; I would have but I forgot! These are great with Cedar's tzatziki if you can't make your own. I had them on a salad with a Joseph's Flax & WW pita on the side. Delicious!
Nutritional info is per ball; I would consider a serving more like 3, but it's helpful to know what each one is :)
