Ingredients
Scale
Chickpea Patties
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup grated carrot (2–3 large carrots)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 15-oz cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1.5 tsp paprika
- 1.5 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Burgers
- Burger buns
- Optional fixings (avocado, tomato, red onion, lettuce, pickles, sprouts, etc)
- Optional condiments (ketchup, bbq sauce, hummus, mayo, etc)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: drain and rinse the garbanzo beans, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Grate the carrots and measure 1 cup. Dice the onion.
- Warm a skillet on medium-low heat. Add oil, diced onion, and grated carrots. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is fragrant and translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pule and grind the food processor until a nearly smooth mixture forms.
- Using a 1/3 measuring cup, scoop the mixture into 6 balls. Flatten each ball into a round patty, sealing any cracked edges.
- Bake patties for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Be gentle while flipping because the patties will be delicate still. After, serve on burger buns with your favorite fixings.
Notes
- For an oil-free option, cook the onion and carrots in 1/4 cup water instead of olive oil.
- If your batter is too wet while forming the patties, you can flour the working surface to reduce moisture. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the mixture for 15-30 minutes before forming the patties. These steps are unnecessary whenever I make this recipe, but several factors can alter the moisture content from time to time.
- Serve these chickpea patties with your favorite fixings. Options include tomato, red onion, avocado, sprouts, lettuce, guacamole, pickles, ketchup, bbq sauce, hummus, mayo, pickled jalapeño, garlic aioli, picked onion, etc.
