Garden Veggie Burgers

I have been wanting to make a whole foods veggie burger with chickpeas, and so I've taken a mixture of a few recipes I found and created this fabulous garden veggie burger made without any oil.
NOTE: You can also use a burger press to shape the patties. Check out my article on this product!

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of home-cooked or canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans) rinsed and drained
  • 1 large carrot roughly chopped
  • 1 red or orange bell pepper roughly chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 handful of fresh basil This is essential in the recipe!
  • 1-1 1/2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 t apple cider vinegar
  • 1 T ketchup
  • 1 T Sriracha sauce optional but highly recommended!
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a food processor, chop the carrots, bell pepper, and garlic with the S-blade. Add in the chickpeas and basil and chop into small pieces. Add in the oats, nutritional yeast flakes, salt, pepper, vinegar, and ketchup and pulse together thoroughly. Add a small bit of water if the mixture doesn't stick together well.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (or 375 convection). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Reynolds NON-STICK foil. Set aside.
  • To make perfectly round-shaped burgers, place a piece of plastic wrap in the top of a jar the size you want them to be. I used our large peanut butter jar top. Scoop some of the burger mixture into the plastic wrap and press down until it fills the top. Lift out the plastic wrap with the burger mixture (now shaped) in it, and flip it onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the burgers on one side for 30 minutes. Flip the burgers to the other side and bake for 10-15 more minutes, or longer if you want them drier and crispier. Serve with mashed avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, and condiments that you like! OR, crumble and serve on a salad. That is my favorite way!

Notes

NOTE: You can double the recipe and freeze the BAKED burgers individually by wrapping each cooled patty in plastic wrap. Then, store all the wrapped patties in an air-tight container in the freezer. All you have to do it warm them up in the toaster oven for a quick dinner!
