Sneaky Chickpea Burgers
Looking for a simple vegan recipe the whole family will enjoy? These scrumptious burgers from Dreena Burton come together quickly and are a fan-favorite for all ages. Carrot and bell pepper lend sweetness, while tomato paste, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and nutritional yeast add tangy flavor. Notes a commenter, “I have made these burgers many times for my family and everyone loves them!” Another writes, “Possibly the best bean burgers I’ve ever had.”
For those of you that need to sneak veggies into your kids at every opportunity, this one’s for you! Our girls have no idea that these burgers have both carrots and red pepper … and I’ll keep it that way for a while.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup carrot, cut in discs
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 medium-large clove garlic
- 2 cans (14-ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste (can substitute natural ketchup)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary leaves
- 1 cup rolled oats
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a food processor, first add carrots, bell pepper, and garlic, pulse until finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients except rolled oats and process through. Stop processor a few times and scrape down, and continue to process until smooth. Then add rolled oats and pulse through.
- Remove bowl and place in fridge to chill mixture, for about a ½ hour. When ready to shape patties, take out scoops of mixture and form burgers in your hands.
- To cook, place patties on a non-stick skillet over medium/medium-high heat. Let cook on one side for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Then flip, and let cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side.
- Alternatively, these patties can be baked at 400°F for about 20 minutes, flipping half way through, however I prefer the sear and texture that pan-cooking offers. Serve on buns, or in tortillas or pitas with fixings of choice!Kiddo Note: Although most children do not like dijon mustard, garlic, or some fresh herbs, they will likely not notice these ingredients at all! Our daughters devour these burgers without ever noticing the seasonings (or the veggies)!
