Chickpea cutlets - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the chicken egg to make this recipe vegan?

Yes! A flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water) or a chia egg works well as a binder in place of chicken eggs.

How long do chickpea cutlets last in the fridge?

Store cooked cutlets in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.

Can I bake these instead of frying for a healthier option?

Absolutely! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and firm.

What can I serve with chickpea cutlets?

Try them in pita wraps with hummus, on salads, or as a burger patty with avocado and tahini sauce.

Can I freeze uncooked chickpea cutlet mixture?

Yes! Shape into patties, place on a parchment-lined tray to freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen (add 1-2 minutes per side).

My mixture is too wet—how can I fix it?

Add 1-2 tbsp breadcrumbs, oat flour, or chickpea flour until the mixture holds its shape when formed.

Are these cutlets gluten-free?

Yes, if using gluten-free breadcrumbs or omitting them. Ensure all spices and additives are GF-certified if needed.

Can I use canned chickpeas instead of cooked?

Yes—rinse and drain canned chickpeas well. About 1.5 cups (240g drained) equals one 15-oz can.

How can I make these spicier?

Add 1/2 tsp cayenne, smoked paprika, or a finely chopped chili pepper to the blender with the onions.
