Description
Hearty chickpeas, fluffy riced cauliflower, vibrant sundried tomatoes and fresh parsley formed into these delicious, sturdy chickpea burgers that will soon become your new favorite veggie burger!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup riced cauliflower (you can use store-bought )
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste (or 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (you can use gluten-free)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, except 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the breadcrumbs, into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine all of the ingredients, scraping down the sides in between pulses. Add some water 1 teaspoon at a time if the mixture looks too dry. Then add in the breadcrumbs and pulse to combine. Once the mixture is fully combined, transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the burgers from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 400° F, and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Form the mixture into 3-4 even-sized patties. I used a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture into my hands and form it into patties that were about 1/2 inch thick. Place the formed patties onto the baking sheet and brush each with some olive oil on both sides. This recipe makes 4-5 even-sized burgers/patties.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the patties over halfway through the cooking time. Remove and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the burgers warm on toasted burger buns with your favorite sauce and toppings.
Notes
- Use canned chickpeas since it is way easier and these burgers need the moisture from the canned beans. Dry beans would make this burger too dry.
- Make sure to chill the mixture before forming the burgers as recommended. This will help them stay sturdy and firm when baked.
- You can brush the chickpea cauliflower burgers with olive oil or avocado oil. This helps them get nice and crispy.
- Make these chickpea burgers ahead and just leave the mixture covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours until you are ready to make the burgers.
- Form the burgers a little bit thinner than regular burgers (about 1/2 inch thick) to allow them to cook more evenly all the way through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven until warmed through.
