Helpful Tips For Veggie Burgers
Food Processor - Pulse
Make sure you pulse and don't just allow it to puree. You want to have texture to your veggie burgers, so a few pulses is all it takes. You just want to break up the vegetables a bit.
Heavy Duty Skillet
Using a quality skillet is going to allow the oil to heat evenly. This will prevent hot spots and an uneven cook on your veggie burgers.
Variations to Chickpea Veggie Burgers
Rice
If you don't want to use brown rice you can use white, Jasmine or any other variety of rice you would like. This is a great recipe to use for next-day rice.
Seasoning
So I seasoned this with Italian seasoning, but if you would prefer a different flavor you can season with a seasonal salt, Cajun spices, etc. Feel free to flavor as you wish, or do a simple salt and pepper.
Lettuce Wraps
Instead of serving your burgers on a bun, lighten it up with lettuce. Use large lettuce leaves to mimic the wrap and dive in!
