- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas; mash with a pastry blender or fork.
- Slice onion.
- Place the onion, parsley, and garlic into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and well blended.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, cumin, salt, pepper, lemon juice, baking powder, and 1 tablespoon oil.

Notes
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to three days, making them a convenient snack for later.
- Freezing: You can freeze uncooked nuggets. Shape them, place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a zip-top bag. When ready to cook, fry them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Pairing: Serve these nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard, ketchup, or barbecue sauce for an extra flavor punch.
- Cooking Method: If you prefer a healthier method, try baking the nuggets in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Spice it Up: Consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mix for a distinct flavor profile.
