• Rosemary or your favorite herbs & spices

For the batter:

• Chickpea flour

• Water

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.Cook the carrots:

Steam, boil, or roast the carrots – whichever method you prefer. Make sure they are tender enough to mash easily with the chickpeas.

2.Prepare the mixture:

Mash the cooked chickpeas and carrots together in a bowl. Add herbs and spices to taste. Gradually add breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together and can be shaped into patties.

3.Shape the croquettes:

Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then form small balls or patties.

4. Coat the croquettes:

Dip each croquette into the chickpea flour batter, then roll in breadcrumbs.

5. Cook: 

Brush with a little oil. Cook in an air fryer or bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Tips & Variations:

• Don’t throw away the aquafaba from the chickpeas – it can be used to make vegan mayo, mousse, or whipped cream!

• Try different spices like paprika, cumin, or garlic powder for extra flavor.

• Serve with your favorite vegan dip or sauce.
