4 servings
For the patties
- 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chef's tipIf the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese. - ⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For cooking
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For serving
- 4 gluten free burger buns, toasted
- 4 leaves romaine or butter lettuce (optional)
- 1 large tomato, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Spread the drained chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat thoroughly dry — the drier they are, the better the patties will hold together.
- 2
Transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth with some texture remaining — a few whole chickpeas are fine, but the mixture should hold together when pressed.
