Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas, drained
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add the cooked quinoa, rolled oats, grated carrot, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture holds together.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, split and lightly toast the burger buns on another skillet or in a toaster.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a cooked patty, slices of tomato, and avocado.
Place the top half of the bun over the avocado slices and serve immediately.
Enjoy your Garden Ultimate Plant-Based Burger with your favorite sides and condiments.
