Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup, finely chopped Red onion
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (gluten-free if required)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water and allow them to drain well.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas and rolled oats. Pulse until the mixture is coarse and begins to come together.

Step 3

Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl and add the finely chopped red onion, fresh parsley, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape but slightly sticky. Adjust the texture by adding a bit of extra oats if too wet or a small splash of water if too dry.

Step 5

Form the mixture into 8 equally-sized patties about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 6

Coat the patties lightly on both sides with the breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure they do not burn.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm as a burger, alongside a salad, or as a savory snack.
