Chickpea-Mushroom Burgers image

These 10-ingredient gluten-free and vegan burgers are crisped up like a smash burger in the oven. We would never say that you HAVE to put cheese on them, but let's just say we highly recommend it.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup red or black quinoa, rinsed
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
2 (14.5-oz.) cans chickpeas, rinsed, drained
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
8 oz. crimini mushrooms, trimmed, cut into 1/4" pieces
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup white miso
1/4 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour
8 slices sharp cheddar or vegan cheese
Mayonnaise, mustard, hamburger buns, shredded iceberg lettuce, and sliced pickles (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Cook quinoa in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chickpeas (make sure they are well drained) and cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic powder and paprika and toss a few times to coat. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool about 5 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, tahini, miso, and 1/4 cup oil to bowl with chickpeas and mash with a potato masher or fork to combine. Add quinoa and flour and mash until mixture holds together when squeezed in your hand. Taste and season with salt if needed. Form into 8 patties and arrange on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. At this point, the patties can be baked, or they can stay frozen up to 3 months. Transfer to resealable freezer bags or layer in an airtight container with sheets of parchment between patties.
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Drizzle frozen patties generously with oil on both sides on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake patties until browned and crisp, 25-30 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and bake until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
  • Spread mayonnaise and mustard on cut sides of buns (if using). Place burgers on bottom buns. Top with lettuce and pickles (if using) and close up burgers.
  • Do Ahead: Patties can be made 3 months ahead. Transfer to a resealable freezer bag and freeze.

These burgers were a little dry, but still tasty. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time.
