Gluten-Free Chickpea Quinoa Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 1 large carrot
- large handful baby spinach
- 1-15oz can chickpeas
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2-3/4 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp chipotle
- 1-1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- salt to taste
- 2 cups garbanzo flour
- about 1 cup water
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine diced red onion, grated carrot, chopped baby spinach, rinsed and drained chickpeas, nutritional yeast, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and chipotle. Mix well.
Add cooked quinoa and mix until evenly incorporated. Add salt to taste.
In a separate bowl, add garbanzo flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until it reaches the consistency of thick pancake batter (about 1 cup water).
Add the batter to the chickpea-vegetable-quinoa mixture and mix well to combine. Add salt to taste.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
Use hands to form patties of desired size, about 3/4 inch thick.
Either pan-fry in a little oil in a non-stick skillet or bake at 375F on a lined sheet until very golden brown (about 25 minutes). For both methods, flip halfway.
