  •  Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  •  Place the chickpeas, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, soy sauce, paprika, cumin and black pepper into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade.
  •  Pulse the food processor until the ingredients are finely chopped and well mixed. Don't overblend or your meatballs will be mushy.
  •  Lightly oil a baking sheet or oven safe skillet with about half of the oil.
  •  Roll the chickpea mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls (you should get about 16 of them).
