Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Cooked chickpeas (or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 small Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
- 4 Burger buns
- Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, sliced avocado, tzatziki sauce)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, feta cheese, rolled oats, and egg. Pulse until the mixture comes together but still has some texture (avoid over-processing).
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the grated carrot, red onion, parsley, dill, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more oats to help bind it.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Handle gently when flipping as they may be delicate.
Toast the burger buns in a dry skillet or toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of the bun, then layering with lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, and tzatziki sauce, if using. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chickpea Feta Veggie Burgers!
