Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1/2 cup riced cauliflower (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste (or 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes)

Seasonings & Others

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon reserved for brushing)
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (gluten-free optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place all ingredients except 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the breadcrumbs into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine, scraping down the sides between pulses. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time if the mixture is too dry, then add breadcrumbs and pulse until fully combined. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up for easier shaping.
  3. Preheat Oven: Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Preheat your oven to 400° F (205° C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Form Patties: Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop and shape the mixture into 3-4 even-sized patties about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on the baking sheet and brush both sides with the reserved olive oil.
  5. Bake Patties: Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the patties halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Once baked, remove and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
  6. Serve: Serve the chickpea cauliflower burgers warm on toasted burger buns with your favorite sauces and toppings for a satisfying vegan meal.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more almond flour or breadcrumbs to firm it up.
  • You can substitute Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
  • Serve with vegan mayo, lettuce, tomato, and avocado for an extra delicious sandwich.
  • These patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • For crispier patties, you can pan-fry them in olive oil instead of baking.
