Chickpea Burgers image

These plant-based burgers are packed with protein, low in fat and high in dietary fiber. Even better, they cost very little to make--especially when compared to buying meat or premade veggie burgers). They also freeze beautifully so you can have them on hand for whenever.

Time 30m

Yield 9 patties

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 small carrot, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (I used whole-grain)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
9 hamburger buns, split
Sliced avocado, for serving
Arugula or Bibb lettuce, for serving
Aioli, ketchup and/or mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the chickpeas, carrot, garlic, onion, eggs and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and stir or gently knead to combine. The mixture will be moist.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture with an ice cream scoop then form into a patty with your hands. You should have 9 patties.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the patties in a single layer until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the patties, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until golden brown and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and repeat with the remaining patties.
  • Serve on the buns with your desired toppings and condiments.
