Falafel Burgers

Falafel Burger Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs (I used organic whole grain bread)
• 1 yellow onion (diced)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 tsp of ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp baking powder

Directions:

Turn on the oven to 400 degrees. Grind chickpeas in a food processor until they are smooth. In a bowl, add processed chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, black, pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and baking soda. Slowly add in the bread crumbs until the mixture holds together like dough. Then shape the dough into patties. Put the patties on a nonstick cooking sheet and bake for 10-12  minutes longer, until golden brown.

I topped my falafel burger with sautéed brussels sprouts and roasted peppers.
