Halve the eggplants and grill or bake them for 15-20 minutes, or until completely softened. Let them cool, then scoop out the flesh.
Finely chop the red onion and garlic. Sauté them in a little olive oil in a pan for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
In a bowl, combine the cooked eggplant flesh, chickpeas, sautéed onion and garlic, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
Mash the mixture with a fork or an immersion blender until you get a sticky paste.
Stir in the chopped parsley and breadcrumbs. Shape the mixture into small cylinders or balls.
Thread the kebabs onto grill skewers and brush with a little olive oil.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and place the kebabs on it. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly charred and crispy.
Remove from the grill and serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or vegan yogurt sauce.
