Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup Onion, diced
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free oat flour
- 1.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Gluten-free burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 12 Cucumber slices
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, parsley, and garlic. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended. Do not puree it completely; you want some texture in the mixture.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl. Add the gluten-free oat flour, cumin, coriander, salt, baking powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Add more olive oil if needed for the second batch.
Meanwhile, toast the gluten-free burger buns (optional), and prepare the toppings: lettuce, tomato, and cucumber slices.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the falafel patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your gluten-free falafel burger!
