Ingredients
- 15.5 ounces Canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well to create a flaxseed 'egg'. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, diced red onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture turns into a thick, rough paste.
Step 4
Add the flaxseed mixture to the chickpea mixture in the processor and pulse a few more times until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, making sure they are firmly packed.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and warmed through.
Step 7
While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato into equal-sized slices.
Step 8
To assemble the burgers, lay a handful of spinach leaves on a plate. Place a cooked patty on top of the greens.
Step 9
Layer the avocado and tomato slices over each patty, followed by a sprinkle of lemon juice for extra flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, delicious vegan bunless burger!
