Zucchini Chickpea Burgers

These Zucchini Chickpea Burgers are full of flavour and hold together through cooking. These burgers are vegan, gluten-free, oil-free

These veggie burgers are made with chickpeas, zucchini, tahini, lemon, oats and a handful of yummy flavour boosters such as garlic. Best thing about these beauties, if you cook them over medium heat in a good non-stick skillet, they come out crispy and perfect on the outside, soft on the inside and they hold together nicely! The fact that they hold together actually makes them perfect for grab-n-go snacking next day too!

I typically eat these with a big salad on the side but they’re also amazing on a delicious bun topped with all your favourite veggie burger toppings. Avocado, lettuce and tomato makes a great combo! Try adding an extra drizzle of tahini on top too…amazing.

Instructions

1. Place the chickpeas in a bowl and mash with a fork. It’s okay if some whole chickpeas are left but it should be mostly mashed up. It can be chunky though.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
3. Use your hands to form the mixture into 9 patties.
4. Lightly spray a good non-stick skillet with cooking oil and heat pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers for approximately 10 minutes per side until crisped and firm.

Notes

If you stick to the weighed measurements as above, the mixture should be perfect for forming patties. If you find it’s a bit too wet though, simply add more quick oats, 1 tbsp at at time until you can form patties. You can also make them bigger if you want!
