Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can Canned chickpeas
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 8 pieces Pickle slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
Instructions
Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a food processor, combine chickpeas and the egg. Pulse until a coarse consistency is achieved.
Transfer chickpea mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Dredge each patty in all-purpose flour, making sure they are fully coated and shake off the excess flour.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully add the patties to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or oven until lightly golden.
Spread mayonnaise on the insides of both the top and bottom buns.
Assemble each sandwich by placing a chickpea patty on the bottom bun, followed by a couple of pickle slices, a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and then covering with the toasted top bun.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
