Instructions

1 ✓

Mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or pulse in a food processor, but don't puree completely! Keep some chunks for texture.

Tip: If you puree it smooth, the inside will be mushy. Chunks provide 'bite'.
2 ✓

Mix in grated carrot, onion, garlic, spices, oats, and flour.

Tip: Oats absorb moisture from veggies and bind the patty.
3 ✓

Knead mixture by hand and let sit for 10 minutes.

Tip: Resting is critical: oats soften and binding activates.
4 ✓

Form 4 firm patties. If edges crack, press tighter.

Tip: Wet hands make working with sticky mix easier.
5 ✓

Heat oil over medium heat and cook patties 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown crust forms.

Tip: Be gentle when flipping; these are more fragile than meat.
6 ✓

Toast buns, spread with mayo/hummus, and assemble with veggies.

Tip: Hummus adds creaminess that pairs perfectly with chickpeas.

Recipe FAQ

The patty falls apart when cooking. What's wrong?
The mixture was likely too wet or didn't rest enough. Oats need time to absorb moisture and bind the burger. If still soft, add a little flour.
It came out dry. How to fix?
Don't overcook! Since there's no raw meat, you just need to heat it through and crisp the outside. Serve with a juicy sauce.
