Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, shredded carrot, shredded zucchini, and chopped mushrooms, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and most moisture has evaporated.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Add the cooked vegetables, cooked brown rice, flaxseed meal, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas.
Mix in the breadcrumbs and thoroughly combine everything until the mixture holds together. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and firm.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns.
Assemble the burgers by spreading vegan mayonnaise on each half of the toasted buns.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a patty, a slice of tomato, and top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Nut-Free Garden Ultimate Plant-Based Burger.
