Chickpea Burgers

Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. Add to a frying pan with 1 tsp avocado oil and fry until just before they start to brown.

Drain the can of chickpeas and add the chickpeas to a food processor with the cooked onions/garlic, paprika, coriander powder, cumin, chopped cilantro, and flour. Process it into a thick burger batter.

Sprinkle flour over a baking tray and cover your hands with it as well. Scoop the batter out onto the tray in 4 even sections, roll in the flour, and form into 4 balls.

If the batter is very sticky or too wet, add more flour so that it easily forms a ball.

Take a square of parchment paper, place on top of each ball and press down on it with the bottom of a glass to flatten it into a burger shape.

Place the baking tray with the 4 burgers into the freezer to firm up for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, add 2 tbsp avocado oil to a frying pan and heat up until hot.

Add all 4 burgers to the frying pan and fry on each side turning regularly until browned and crispy. Roughly 5 minutes on each side.

If you want your burgers extra firm and crispy, you can place on a parchment lined baking tray and bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for a further 20-30 minutes.
