Vegan Chickpea Quinoa Croquettes Recipe

Crispy Vegan Croquettes made with chickpeas and quinoa, with a satisfying nutty flavor and a gorgeous crunchy texture! Paired with tahini sauce, the perfect plant-based snack but they also make a great filling for wraps or vegan burritos. Jump to Recipe

These easy vegan croquettes are a tasty and simple way to include some veggies and quinoa in your diet! The nutty flavor and crunchy texture makes these taste every bit as satisfying as they sound and look. The croquettes are delicious as is, but even better served with chutney, homemade salsa,  a creamy Jalapeno Dip or Tahini Sauce.

To turn them into a whole meal, these vegan croquettes can be accompanied by a side salad or grilled veggies. And what keeps you from using them as a topping for your favorite bowl or as a filling for a wrap or burrito?

The combination of chickpeas and quinoa adds a beautifully nutty flavor to these vegan croquettes and I love serving them with a subtly tangy dip like my tahini dill sauce!

However you serve them, as a pita or burrito filling or as finger food, they will be a huge hit! Such a fantastic shared appetizer or fun crispy-crunchy side! Easy to make and even easier to eat. Kids love these too.

Ingredients:

  • canned chickpeas and cooked quinoa form the base of these vegan croquettes
  • cauliflower florets add some bulk while lightening up the texture of these little fritters!  If you don’t love cauliflower, use a mix of veggies along with the cauliflower to reduce the cauliflower taste to a minimum
  • as seasonings, we add dried or fresh parsley and dill along with garlic powder, black pepper and salt
  • tahini acts as a glue and helps hold all the ingredients together
  • for the crispy coating, we are using dried breadcrumbs – store-bought or homemade

Tips & Variations:

  • This is a great recipe to use up leftover day-old quinoa. If cooking fresh quinoa, make sure you let it cool down.
  • You could use canned white beans instead of chickpeas.
  • Instead of tahini, you can use any other drippy nut butter.
  • Feel free to use different spices, herbs, and seasonings to put your own twist on this croquettes recipe. Think za’atar for Middle Eastern Vegan Croquettes or Croquette wraps, or add your favorite curry blends for an Indian twist.
  • These are baked not fried and therefore oil-free. However, you could fry them in a pan if you want.
