Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Red onion
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (gluten-free if required)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water and allow them to drain well.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas and rolled oats. Pulse until the mixture is coarse and begins to come together.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl and add the finely chopped red onion, fresh parsley, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Mix all the ingredients until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape but slightly sticky. Adjust the texture by adding a bit of extra oats if too wet or a small splash of water if too dry.
Form the mixture into 8 equally-sized patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Coat the patties lightly on both sides with the breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure they do not burn.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm as a burger, alongside a salad, or as a savory snack.
