Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can) Garbanzo beans (chickpeas), cooked or canned
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices

Instructions
Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans if using canned beans. Use a fork, potato masher, or food processor to mash the beans into a rough paste, leaving a few chunks for texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed garbanzo beans, red onion, grated carrot, parsley, and minced garlic.
Add cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Stir in breadcrumbs and flour to help bind the mixture. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of breadcrumbs if the mixture feels too wet.
Divide the mixture evenly into four portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired, then layer the bottom buns with lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
Place the cooked veggie patties on top of the veggies, then add your favorite condiments or toppings.
Finish with the top bun and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade garbanzo veggie burgers!
