What You Need

Chickpea Burger Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 – 14oz can)
• 1/2 cup onion, diced into small pieces
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1Tbsp chili powder (or play around and use a different spice mix!)
• salt and pepper
• 1 egg
• 4 sets of buns

How to Make the Chickpea Burger Recipe

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor, pulse until slightly chunky, add some liquid (water or milk is great) if needed, to have a moist but not wet mixture.
2. With wet hands, shape into patties, and let rest about 10 minutes. Over medium heat, add a little oil in a frying pan and cook the patties for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Then flip the patties over, and repeat on other side. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Serve with your favourite buns and toppings, or refrigerate/freeze for later meals.
