Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 15oz canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
2 cloves garlic (peeled)
1/2cup parsley
3 tbsp canned diced green chiles
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2cup yellow onion (chopped small)
3/4cup zucchini (grated)
1/2cup corn
2/3cup oat flour
oil for cooking the patties (Olive, avocado or canola)
Instructions
Reserve 1/3 cup of chickpeas, then in a food processor or blender combine: remaining chickpeas, garlic, parsley, diced green chiles, chipotle pepper, salt, pepper and cumin.
Blend until smooth. Then add reserved chickpeas, onion, zucchini, corn and oat flour. Stir well with a rubber spatula until fully combined.
Use your hands to form patties (about 1/2 cup of the mixture for each patty). Don't make the burgers more than 1/2 inch thick. You should end up with about 8 burgers.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Add burger patties to the pan, cooking about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. You might need to do this in two batches. As the burgers are done, place on a paper-towel lined plate or cooling rack until ready to serve.
Freezing instructions
Place burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about one hour. Then place in a freezer safe container or ziploc bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
Reheating instructions
Preheat oven to 375. Place burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook for about 15-20 minutes.
