Chickpea Meatless Meatballs

Healthy, economical and tasty!

540 ml can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup edamame beans

1 roasted sweet pepper

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup shredded onion

2 tsp dry oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 egg

3/4 cup bread crumbs

Put the chickpeas, edamame beans and roasted pepper in the food processor.  I used frozen edamame, there's still a little frost on them. And you can use store bought roasted peppers or use the link at the end of this recipe to make your own. It's easy!

Pulse a few times to combine. You don't want a purée.

In a bowl combine the chickpea mixture with the remaining ingredients and form into 2 tablespoon-sized balls.

Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.

Serve with your favourite sauce.
