Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup carrot, shredded
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 0 optional condiments (e.g., mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained garbanzo beans using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Step 2
Add breadcrumbs, chopped red onion, shredded carrot, parsley, egg, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture holds together.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly if desired.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a garbanzo burger patty. Add tomato slices and any optional condiments of your choice, then top with the remaining bun halves.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade garbanzo vegetarian burgers!
