    FAQs About Chickpea Patties

    Q1. Can I make chickpea patties without sesame seeds?
     Yes! Sesame seeds add crunch, but you can skip them or replace them with crushed oats, bread crumbs, or flax seeds.
    Q2. Can I bake these patties instead of roasting?
     Absolutely. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake the patties on a greased tray for 15–20 minutes, flipping once halfway.
    Q3. How do I store leftover chickpea patties?
     Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven before serving.
    Q4. Can I freeze chickpea patties?
     Yes. Shape them into patties and freeze uncooked on a tray. Once solid, store them in a zip-lock bag. Roast directly when needed—no need to thaw!
    Q5. Are chickpea patties good for weight loss?
     Yes! Since they are high in protein, fiber, and roasted with minimal oil, they are filling and low in calories—making them perfect for weight management.
