- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp chipotle chili powder

- ½ tsp onion powder

- vegan mayonnaise, to taste
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- sliced pickles, to taste (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, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, mash everything together until the mixture is mostly smooth with some visible chickpea chunks remaining — it should hold its shape when pressed into a ball.
