Add remaining ¼ cup of breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl. Roll two tablespoons of chickpea mixture into a ball and flatten into a ½-inch thick disc (I used cookie scoop). Toss in breadcrumbs and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remainder chickpea mixture. Spray chickpea bites with nonstick spray and bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
