Health Benefits of Blended Chickpea Veggie Patties
High in Plant-Based Protein
Chickpeas and green peas are rich in plant protein, which supports muscle repair, keeps you full, and helps stabilize blood sugar.
Packed with Fibre
Chickpeas, broccoli, and peas all contain soluble and insoluble fibre, supporting healthy digestion, promoting gut health, and aiding in cholesterol balance.
Nutritional Yeast = B Vitamins Boost
Nutritional yeast is a natural source of B vitamins (especially B12 when fortified), which are essential for energy production, brain function, and nervous system support.
Antioxidant-Rich Veggies
Broccoli and peas provide antioxidants like vitamin C, lutein, and chlorophyll, which help reduce inflammation and support cellular health.
Supports Detoxification
Broccoli is a cruciferous veggie, known for its sulforaphane content—a compound that helps the liver detoxify excess hormones and environmental toxins.
Anti-inflammatory Herbs & Spices
Cilantro, chives, garlic, and oregano are all anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, supporting immunity and reducing oxidative stress.

Blended Chickpea Veggie Patties
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine broccoli, green peas, chickpeas, and olive oil. Pulse or blend until a thick, textured mixture forms—don’t over-blend; you want some small chunks for texture.
- Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add all spices: salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cilantro, and chives. In a separate bowl combine breadcrumbs and nutritional yeast for the crunch.
- Scoop and shape the mixture into small balls (about 2 tbsp each). Roll lightly in extra breadcrumbs if desired for added crunch.
- Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, then gently flatten with your palm to form a patty shape.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
