Best 4 Simple Falafel Chickpea Burgers Recipes

EASY FALAFEL BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F and grease or line a baking sheet. Toss the Onion, Parsley, and Cilantro into a Food Processor and process until finely chopped. Add the remaining ingredients to the Processor and pulse until a coarse (but evenly combined) meal forms.
• Slightly wet your hands, divide the dough into 6 even patties, and shape each one into a circle about ½ - ¾ " thick. Place the burgers evenly across the baking sheet, making sure each burger has some room around it.
• Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes, then remove and flip the burgers. Return to the top rack of the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
• Serve as desired; leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to one week, or can also be frozen for up to two months.

FALAFEL WITH CANNED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Mash chickpeas in a bowl using a masher. Combine mashed chickpeas, onions, parsley, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Mix eggs, cumin, coriander, salt, lemon juice, baking powder, black pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl. Add chickpea mixture and mix together. Add bread crumbs slowly and combine using your hands until mixture isn't sticky, but will hold together when frying.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Form mixture into about 12 patties about as wide as the palm of your hand. Fry patties in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

FALAFEL: CHICKPEA PATTIES

Steps:

• Make the Falafel: Soak the chickpeas in cold water in the refrigerator overnight.
• Drain the chickpeas and place them with the onion in the bowl of a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the oil. Mix well. Process the mixture a second time. Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls and deep-fry or pan-fry in hot oil.
• Make the Sandwiches: Stuff the pitas with lettuce and nestle the falafel patties inside. Top with the rest of the ingredients and drizzle with the tahini sauce. Serve immediately.
• Mash the garlic and salt together. Add the tahini, mixing well. The sauce will thicken. Gradually add the water, blending thoroughly. Then add the lemon juice. Blend well.
• Note: This can be a thin or thick sauce, depending upon the use and preference. Simply adjust with lemon juice and water. This can be used with vegetables or in combination with other recipes.
