Easy Veggie Burger Recipe (Vegan)

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 small cauliflower head

  (about 5 cups florets)
• 4 Tbsp oil

  divided
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin seed
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

  to taste
• 1 cup (165g) chickpeas

  drained and rinsed
• 2 garlic cloves

  minced or pressed
• ¼ cup (15g) parsley

  finely chopped
• 1 cup (110g) ground almonds
• 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
• 4 Tbsp water

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350˚F/180˚C and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a
  silicone baking mat.
• 2 Cut the cauliflower into florets, and place them into the prepared baking sheet.
  Sprinkle with spices, salt & pepper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Mix with
  your hands to get everything nicely coated. Roast for 20-25 minutes, then let it
  cool.
  
• 3 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix ground flax and water and stir until thoroughly
  combined.
  
• 4 Place the roasted cauliflower into a food processor [https://amzn.to/2TU4PM9]
  together with chickpeas, garlic, parsley, ground almonds and flax mixture. Pulse
  until well combined and sticky. You might need to stop and scrape the sides of
  the food processor [https://amzn.to/2TU4PM9] a couple of times. Be careful not
  to overdo the mixture; we don't want it too mushy, a little texture is great. 
  
• 5 Take about 1/3 cup of mixture and, using your hands, form a burger patty. Repeat
  with the remaining mixture.
• 6 Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof pan [https://amzn.to/2X9zvej] or skillet
  over medium heat. Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown
  on both sides, then place them in the preheated oven and bake for an additional
  15-17 minutes.
  
• 7 Spread mashed avocado on the lower bun, add the patty, then your favorite
  toppings and set the top bun.
