- ½ cup rolled oats

- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper

- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
For the BBQ glaze
- ½ cup bbq sauce

- 1 large tomato, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- vegan mayonnaise, for spreading (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Spread the drained chickpeas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels — the drier they are, the better the patties will hold together and crust.

Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Add the rolled oats, tomato paste, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Mash with a potato masher or fork until the mixture is mostly smooth with some texture remaining — about 80% mashed, with visible chickpea pieces throughout.
