Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1 small Zucchini, grated
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 4 Burger buns
• None Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, ketchup, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and water. Let the oats soak for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to the soaked oats. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Gradually mix in the chickpea flour to bind the mixture. If it feels too wet, add a little more chickpea flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a burger patty with your hands.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Add more olive oil as needed for subsequent batches.

Step 6

Lightly toast the burger buns, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, and condiments of your choice.

Step 8

Close the burgers with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Veggie Oat Burgers!
