Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups carrots, grated
- 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, walnuts, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended, leaving some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and fold in the grated carrots, breadcrumbs, rolled oats, and finely chopped onion. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until everything is combined.
Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick. If the mixture feels too wet or sticky, add a little more breadcrumbs or oats, one tablespoon at a time.
Place a skillet over medium heat and heat the olive oil. Add the patties to the skillet (work in batches if necessary) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crisp.
Transfer the partially cooked patties to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This helps firm up the texture.
Remove the burgers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Carrot Nut Bean Burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a dollop of yogurt-based sauce. Enjoy!
