Ingredients

• 400 grams Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Bread crumbs, vegan
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 whole Hamburger buns, vegan
• 4 whole Lettuce leaves
• 1 whole Tomato, sliced
• 4 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
• 4 whole Pickles, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky.

Step 3

Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl and stir in the flaxseed mixture until well incorporated.

Step 4

Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.

Step 5

Place the flour in one shallow bowl, and the bread crumbs in another.

Step 6

Dredge each chickpea patty in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the flaxseed mixture again before coating it with bread crumbs. Press the bread crumbs gently to adhere.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired.

Step 9

Spread a tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each bun, then top with lettuce, tomato slices, a chickpea patty, and pickles.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Breaded Chicken Burger!
