Chickpea Veggie Patty

Chickpea Veggie Patty

Meet my new best friend. Did I say friend? I meant my new favorite veggie burger. Or can I be friends with a veggie burger? I don’t think so.

I’ve made a lot of veggie patties at home, but almost every time, they fall apart. But tonight I was so happy to find out that my chickpea veggie patties stuck together throughout the process of cooking and eating. Apart from them sticking together, they tasted really good.

I couldn’t help myself and I found myself stealing bites of the uncooked mixture as I was making these wonderful patties. You can also sample as you go as there are no meat or raw eggs involved.

The patties are excellent alternatives to those pretend veggie burgers they sell in stores. Did you ever read the list of ingredients in some of those store bought veggie burgers? They don’t have much vegetable ingredients in them and they are packed with too much preservatives, sodium and other additives.

I used to buy those boxed, frozen veggie burgers and other meat wannabes years ago, but now I can’t stand those offensive ingredients that taste so awful. Chickpea veggie patties to the rescue!

These patties are so full of flavor and they take only 35 minutes to prepare as you most likely have most of the ingredients already.

You can change the flavors and spices as you desire but I prefer chickpea flour with black pepper, paprika powder, turmeric powder and sea salt.. This doesn’t sound like something that works, but I swear that it does!

I recommend to eat these with our amazing cucumber avocado salsa. Tomorrow I’ll eat a few patties with salad for lunch. The patties will even work as a healthy and filling quick to go snack since they hold together.

I hope you all love this burger! It is hearty, flavorful, grillable, satisfying and perfect for cookouts or easy weeknight meals.

Bye friends.
