Ingredients

• 15 oz (1 can) Garbanzo beans (chickpeas), cooked or canned
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.75 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 0 to taste Condiments (ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans if using canned beans. Use a fork, potato masher, or food processor to mash the beans into a rough paste, leaving a few chunks for texture.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed garbanzo beans, red onion, grated carrot, parsley, and minced garlic.

Step 3

Add cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well to combine the flavors.

Step 4

Stir in breadcrumbs and flour to help bind the mixture. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of breadcrumbs if the mixture feels too wet.

Step 5

Divide the mixture evenly into four portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly if desired, then layer the bottom buns with lettuce leaves and tomato slices.

Step 8

Place the cooked veggie patties on top of the veggies, then add your favorite condiments or toppings.

Step 9

Finish with the top bun and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade garbanzo veggie burgers!
