📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Peel and cube the sweet potato. Grate the carrot and zucchini. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

3. Steam or microwave the sweet potato cubes until soft, about 8–10 minutes.

4. In a food processor, pulse the cooked chickpeas until they are broken into small pieces but not fully pureed.

5. Transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Add the sweet potato, grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped onion, minced garlic, spinach, rolled oats, curry powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

6. Mash the ingredients together using a fork or potato masher until well combined. The mixture should hold its shape when pressed.

7. Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 equally sized burger patties.

8. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

9. Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.

10. Remove from the oven and let the burgers cool slightly before serving.

11. Serve the curried vegetable burgers on burger buns, with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and yogurt sauce or chutney.
