In a food processor, add the raw walnuts and almonds. Pulse until coarsely ground but not too fine. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
To the food processor, add the cooked chickpeas, shredded carrot, and chopped onion. Pulse until combined and broken down. Add this mixture to the bowl with the ground nuts.
Stir in the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Add the egg (or flax egg for a vegan option) to the mixture and stir until it binds together. The consistency should be firm enough to form patties. If it's too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a small splash of water.
Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan and cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf, a cooked nut patty, a tomato slice, and your favorite condiments on each bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade vegetarian nut burgers!
