Calories: 100kcal
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 15.5 oz canned chickpeas rinsed and well drained
- ½ cup carrot shredded
- ½ cup regular breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup yellow onion roughly diced
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 clove of garlic crushed or roughly chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp paprika sweet or smoked
- ½ tsp salt
- 2-4 tbsp water just enough for the patties to hold well when shaped
Instructions
- To a food processor, add the chickpeas, shredded carrots, onion, garlic, spices, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast and salt. Process or pulse until the mixture is mostly combined, but still coarse.
- Use a spatula to mix in the food processor and add 2 tablespoons of water. Process again for a few seconds.
- Then, check on the texture by pressing some of the mixture in between your fingers. You are looking for a consistency that holds well together and looks slightly moist. Add one tablespoon extra of water at the time and process again as needed. Repeat until desired consistency. You might have to add in between 2-4 tablespoons total, but this will vary depending on how much water the chickpeas retained.
- Shape the mixture into 6-7 patties for finger food or 4 larger patties for burgers. Aim to shape them to about ¾ inch thick.
- Warm up a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray a small amount of avocado oil over (can also be done without oil).
- Then, distribute the patties on the pan and roast for a few minutes on each side or until browned to your liking.
- Serve right away in burgers with your favorite fixings or with a side of your favorite sauce. Enjoy!

Notes
- Keep leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Can also be frozen. Reheat using the pan or the microwave. A good way to use leftovers is in tortilla wraps (like a burrito) or sandwiches.
- Customize the flavor by using your favorite spices such as curry powder, chili powder, spicy red pepper flakes, etc. Fresh herbs would also be a great addition!
- Our favorite way to serve these patties is alongside marinara sauce for an Italian flavored meal. Other sauce ideas include hummus, ketchup, vegan tzatziki, green goddess dressing or chipotle mayo.
