Vegan Chickpea Patty Burgers are a meat-free dish made with just a few simple ingredients like chickpeas, carrots, and parsley. These easy burgers are plant-based and gluten-free!
This recipe was made in partnership with CatholicTV. All opinions are my own.
This year for Lent, CatholicTv asked me to dream up some simple and easy, yet flavorful recipes that can be enjoyed during the Fridays of Lent. These chickpea patty burgers fit the bill.
They're really easy to make. I used a food processor, but you don't even need any equipment.
The chickpea patty recipe is simple. Just a few ingredients and commons spices, all mixed up together.
And, most importantly, these gluten-free chickpea burgers are delicious!
My favorite trick for adding freshness is to use herbs. These burgers are baked or pan-cooked but they still feel light and fresh because parsley brings that crisp flavor.
Plus, when you load 'em up with your favorite burger toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, maybe even some homemade mayo, they are totally customizable to your flavor preferences!
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (See below for alternate cooking methods.)
Step 2. Pulse all the ingredients in the food processor until the mixture comes together. If you don't have a food processor, use a potato masher to mash the chickpeas in a large bowl until they’re mostly mashed (still with some chunks). Then, chop the parsley and stir in the remaining ingredients.
Step 3. Use a 1/2 cup measure to shape the mixture into eight large patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4. Bake for 25 minutes.
Step 5. Serve burger-style with buns, lettuce tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, etc.
I prefer baking because the patties hold together better and it's easier to ensure they are cooked through. But you can pan-fry these burgers too!
It's actually quicker!
To pan cook, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden.
You may need to cook the patties in two or three batches so they can be spaced evenly in the pan.
These chickpea burgers cook up wonderfully in the air fryer too! Follow the instructions as written, then air fry at 375°F for 13-15 minutes.
These chickpea burgers are naturally gluten free - if you are celiac be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
If you'd like to serve these burgers with a gluten-free bun, I recommend the Udis brand.
Or, grab a large piece of bibb lettuce and serve in a lettuce wrap.
Store these burgers in an air-tight container in the fridge. They will last up to a week.
To reheat, warm in the oven or air fryer at 350°F and heat for 5-6 minutes until warmed through. Or re-heat in the pan over medium heat for 2 minutes per side until warm.
Thank you God for these burgers that fuel our bodies. Thank you for this food that honors You and your creation. Amen.
