These chickpea-based burgers are plant-based and simple to make, requiring just 10 ingredients and 30 minutes. Let’s do this! Chickpeas create a hearty, neutral base that supplies both fiber and protein. One burger (without a bun or toppings) provides over 6 grams of fiber (that’s ~20% of the recommended daily value) and almost 8 grams of protein. Chickpeas, we love you! They are gently mashed with a fork or potato masher to create a dough-like texture (see photo below). No special kitchen tools required! In fact, blending can turn chickpeas into a more of a purée, which isn’t the texture we’re going for here. To season the burgers, we used sautéed shallot and garlic, vegan parmesan, and Italian herbs to impart big flavor. Parsley adds a fresh, herby note, and salt and pepper bring it all together. Olive oil provides richness and helps the burgers bind, while marinara provides pizza flavor, and breadcrumbs help absorb excess moisture to allow the burgers to get a crispy exterior. All the ingredients get mixed together then formed into patties and cooked in a skillet until golden brown. We hope you LOVE these pizza burgers!

Or for a lighter, gluten-free option, they can be served on a lettuce wrap. We think they would even make a delicious snack served on their own!
