Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas, drained
• 1 cup quinoa, cooked
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.

Step 2

Add the cooked quinoa, rolled oats, grated carrot, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture holds together.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, split and lightly toast the burger buns on another skillet or in a toaster.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a cooked patty, slices of tomato, and avocado.

Step 8

Place the top half of the bun over the avocado slices and serve immediately.

Step 9

Enjoy your Garden Ultimate Plant-Based Burger with your favorite sides and condiments.
