Instructions

- Add 1/2 cup of filtered water.
- Cover and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed, the quinoa is cooked and the sweet potato is soft.
- Place the rinsed chickpeas, the cooked quinoa and sweet potatoes along with the granulated garlic and onion to a food processor.
- Blend/pulse till it’s combined and sticks together when pressed between your fingers.
- Use a tablespoon measure to scoop and form them into desired shape.
- Place it on a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes. It might feel soft to the touch but will firm up once cooled.
