There are so many varieties of veggie burgers, the options are truly endless. This particular recipe is one of my favorite creations because it has a smooth and smoky hotness that comes across with each bite, and it’s an easy recipe. A lot of veggie burgers fall apart, and this one doesn’t -thanks to the coconut oil.
Ingredients
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/3 cup diced onion
1/4 cup red bell pepper
2 15 oz cans chickpeas (or home cooked chickpeas)
1 tsp thyme
pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp Chipotle spice
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup oat flour (grind oats in food processor)
1/2 cup salsa Your favorite kind!
Heat oven to 350.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Saute onion and bell pepper for about 7 minutes until softened. Remove from heat. Place chickpeas in a food processor along with the cooked onions. Process until combined, but not too much. You don’t want it to be like hummus. Put chickpea mixture in a bowl and add spices and flour. Form into patties about the size of your palm, and place on parchment lined cookie trays. Bake for about 30 minutes until warmed throughout. Top with salsa and serve with a side green salad.
