Ingredients

• 400 g canned chickpeas
• 0.5 red onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 60 g rolled oats
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 carrot
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Grate the carrot using a box grater.

Step 4

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chopped onion, minced garlic, rolled oats, ground cumin, ground coriander, and fresh parsley. Process until well combined but slightly textured, not completely smooth.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the grated carrot, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chickpea patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into rounds.

Step 9

Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.

Step 10

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on each bun base, followed by a chickpea patty, tomato slices, and then the top of the bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your high protein chickpea burgers with your choice of condiments or sides.
