Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) Chickpeas
• 1 medium Sweet potato
• 0.5 cup Quinoa
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Green peas
• 0.5 cup, finely chopped Red onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 whole Burger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce
• 1 sliced Tomato

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and cut the sweet potato into small cubes. Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender.

Step 3

While the sweet potato roasts, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Add quinoa and water to a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.

Step 5

Once the sweet potato is roasted, add it to the chickpeas and mash together.

Step 6

Add cooked quinoa, green peas, red onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the chickpea mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 7

Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

Step 9

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through.

Step 10

Lightly toast the burger buns if desired.

Step 11

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a veggie patty, tomato slices, and the top half of the bun.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your soy-free delicious veg burger!
