Method

  • * To prepare chia seed mixture, add chia seeds to water and set aside. After 5 minutes use whisk and mixture will become gelatinous.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, add olive oil and cook onions and garlic until translucent - about 5 minutes.
  • Add carrots, spinach, turmeric, cumin, and continue cooking until carrots are soft - about 3-5 minutes - turn off heat and set pan aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas until mostly smooth, leaving about 1/3 in a chunky texture.
  • Add chickpeas to saute pan with vegetables and mix to deglaze and combine before transferring to a large bowl.
  • Fold in chia seed mixture well before adding garbanzo bean flour, salt and pepper.
  • Shape mixture into burger form and place on parchment lined baking sheets.
  • Create your garlic topping by combining the 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons pressed garlic - then use this to spoon a dollop on top of each burger and spread to coat.
  • Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and flip burgers before returning to oven for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Turn oven to broil at 450* and finish cooking to create a golden brown topping.
  • Place burger on plate and top with sliced avocado - Enjoy! YUM!
