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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chickpeas. Dried chickpeas are best for this recipe, as they have a firmer texture than canned chickpeas. If using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight. Soaking the chickpeas overnight will help them to cook more evenly and will also make them easier to digest. If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a food processor to grind the chickpeas. A food processor will give you the best results, as it will grind the chickpeas into a fine meal. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender, but you may need to blend the chickpeas in batches.
  • Add plenty of flavorings. The chickpeas themselves have a mild flavor, so it's important to add plenty of flavorings to the burgers. Some good options include garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Don't overcook the burgers. The burgers should be cooked until they are just heated through, otherwise they will become dry and crumbly. Cook the burgers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

These chickpea burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein and fiber, and they are also low in fat and calories. They can be served on a bun with your favorite toppings, or they can be enjoyed as a standalone meal. Chickpea burgers are also a great option for meal prepping, as they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to eat.
