Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cups plain hummus
• 0.75 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups grated carrot
• 1 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large sliced tomato
• 0 as desired optional toppings (e.g., avocado, pickles, vegan mayo)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, add the chickpeas, hummus, rolled oats, grated carrot, turmeric, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture until it becomes a semi-smooth consistency, leaving a bit of texture for a more satisfying bite. Scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some moisture.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into a burger patty about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Add more olive oil as needed for the second batch if your skillet is small.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns in the same skillet if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers with a lettuce leaf, a golden hummus patty, a slice of tomato, and any additional toppings of your choice.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Golden Hummus Burgers!
