This recipe was originally posted on the Kiipfit.com website and sent to us from a reader to try. The taste is one of the best veggie burgers our tasting panel has ever tried. It's freezer friendly so you can prepare them in advance and quickly heat up a pattie whenever you want.
1. Mash the drained chickpeas into a paste. Then put all the ingredients, except cooking spray, into a large mixing bowl and combine with your hands.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
3. Divide the mixture into 8 servings. Roll each serving into a ball, then press down to form patties.
4. Once the patties are ready, lightly coat the pan with cooking spray and cook for 2-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Flip and repeat on the opposite side.
5. Serve the patties up on whole wheat buns with fixings like tomatoes and spinach leaves. Freeze the leftovers for easy re-heating anytime.
Yield: 8 Servings
The patties are freezer friendly. You can make them in advance and freeze them in freezer friendly containers.
