Chickpea Burgers Recipe

These chickpea burgers are the best meat-free burger you’ll have on your barbecue all summer!

For those of you who are plant-based or even just looking to reduce your overall meat consumption, these chickpea burgers are a fabulous replacement for a traditional meat-based burger.

These delicious patties are easy to make with a food processor and can be frozen for quick and easy access during a busy week. You can throw these on the grill frozen, and they won’t leave you with a mushy mess in the middle like some meatless burgers. Because who wants mush in their burger? Am I right?

Why You Want To Make These Chickpea Burgers

• An excellent plant-based alternative to meat-based burgers.
• Easy to cook on the grill
• They freeze well for up to 4 months if wrapped well.
• Can also be cooked in a skillet or baked in the oven.
• Never mushy in the middle.
• Won’t fall apart during cooking.
• An excellent flavor you can taste before you even cook the finished patties! (Because you know you’ll try the mix in your processor. I sure did!)

Why Go Plant-Based?

Despite all the hoopla around low-carb diets at the moment, there is overwhelming scientific proof that a plant-based diet is an incredibly healthy approach to nutrition. While holes can be found in any study, the combined results of all these plant-based studies make it pretty hard to ignore the fact that including more plants in your eating plan is never a bad idea.

These burger patties are filled with fiber, protein, and plenty of vitamins and minerals.
