Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chickpeas cooked or tinned 
  • 1 cup edamame beans (frozen) 
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley 
  • 1 large carrot 
  • 2 garlic cloves 
  • 2 tsp tahini

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper 
  • Place a small pot of water over a high heat on the stovetop and bring up to a boil. Add in the edamame beans and cook for five minutes. Strain and set aside to cool

  • Process in the food processor until combined, allowing some shape from the beans and veggies to remain 
  • Roll into balls using roughly 1.5 tbsp of the mixture and slightly flatten onto the baking tray. Repeat this process until you have rolled all of the mixture
