Ingredients

• 400 grams canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 100 grams rolled oats
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas and process until roughly mashed. Scrape down the sides if needed.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats, grated carrot, grated and squeezed zucchini, diced onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, soy sauce, tomato paste, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture several times until well combined but still slightly chunky. Do not over-process; you want some texture in the mix.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb excess moisture, helping the mix hold together.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 6

If cooking on a stovetop, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side or until golden and heated through. Alternatively, bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or grill them for 3–4 minutes on each side.

Step 7

Serve the veggie patties immediately on buns, topped with your favorite condiments and vegetables.
