Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup Onion, diced
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free oat flour
- 1.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Gluten-free burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 12 Cucumber slices
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, parsley, and garlic. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended. Do not puree it completely; you want some texture in the mixture.
Step 2
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl. Add the gluten-free oat flour, cumin, coriander, salt, baking powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Add more olive oil if needed for the second batch.
Step 5
Meanwhile, toast the gluten-free burger buns (optional), and prepare the toppings: lettuce, tomato, and cucumber slices.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the falafel patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and the top half of the bun.
Step 7
Serve immediately, and enjoy your gluten-free falafel burger!
