Hearty chickpea burgers that have amazing taste the whole family will love.
Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups salt-free cooked chickpeas
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained
- 1/2 yellow onion, roughly chopped
- juice of 1/2 lemon (1-3 teaspoons)
- 2 Tblsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1 Tblsp ground flaxseed
Serving suggestions:
- Gluten Free Burger Buns
- Curly Lettuce
- Sliced Cucumber
- (from our winter grain bowl) or Ketchup
Instructions
- Make the chickpea burgers: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Put 1 1/2 cups of the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, onion, lemon juice, tomato paste, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning and salt in a food processor. Process until a thick and relatively smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides of the food processor as necessary.
- Add the brown rice flour and flaxseed to the food processor and pulse to combine. Finally add the remaining 1 cup chickpeas and pulse until they are evenly incorporated into the burger mixture, but still chunky.
- Slightly wet your hands and divide the dough to form six even burger patties. Round and flatten each patty with your hands, then place it on the baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30 minutes, then use a spatula to flip each patty. Return to the top rack of the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.
- Place each burger on a gluten free bun (or in a bowl with fresh greens!) and top with lettuce, cucumber and. Serve warm. Store any leftover patties in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
