Herby Chickpea Veggie Burgers
Yield: 4 servings 1x
Prep: 15 minutesCook: 20 minutesTotal: 35 minutes
Turn a couple cans of chickpeas into these flavorful Herby Chickpea Veggie Burgers! A quick blend of pantry ingredients, frozen peas and fresh herbs formed into patties and cooked on the stovetop. Hello meatless Monday!
Ingredients
- 2 (15.5-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 5-6 green onions, trimmed and sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed and patted dry
- 1/4 cup cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves (or a mix of both)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
- burger buns
- burger toppings of choice (sliced avocado, tomato, red onion, burger sauce, etc.)
Instructions
- Bake the chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 325F. Spread the drained and rinsed chickpeas (2-15 ounce cans) across a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes to help remove some moisture from the chickpeas. Don’t skip this step, or you’ll end up with mushy burgers!
- Blend: Transfer about half of the baked chickpeas to a food processor. Add the green onions (5-6, trimmed and sliced), thawed peas (1/2 cup), and fresh herbs (1/4 cup) and then process until you have a smooth, sticky, but still slightly textured mixture.
- Make burger mix: Scrape the blended chickpea base into a mixing bowl and combine with the remaining whole chickpeas, beaten eggs (2), panko breadcrumbs (1 cup), Worcestershire sauce (2 teaspoons) (omit if vegetarian), garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon), and salt (1/2 teaspoon).
- Shape the burgers: Using damp hands or gloves, shape the burgers into 4 evenly sized patties and stage them on a plate or cutting board before cooking.
- Cook the burgers: Heat a splash of oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the burgers for 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Serve & store: Serve burgers immediately with a toasted bun and your favorite burger toppings. Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
