• 0.75 cup Rolled oats
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 1 medium, grated and squeezed dry Zucchini
• 1 cup, cooked and rinsed Chickpeas
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Burger buns

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly toast the walnuts and almonds on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until fragrant. Allow them to cool.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax 'egg'.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the toasted nuts and rolled oats until they form a coarse meal. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the grated carrot and squeezed-dry zucchini to the mixing bowl along with the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chickpeas.

Step 5

Mash the chickpeas slightly with a fork or spoon, keeping some texture intact.

Step 6

Add the flax ‘egg,’ soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 7

Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 8

Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties. Place them on a plate or baking sheet.

Step 9

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 10

Toast the burger buns in the skillet if desired.

Step 11

Assemble your burgers by placing the cooked nut and veggie patty on the bun and adding your choice of toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, avocado, or sauces).

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Nut and Veggie Burgers!
