🍔 Ingredients (Makes 2 burgers)
For the Burger Patties:
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (or white beans)
- ½ small carrot, grated
- 2 tbsp oats or breadcrumbs
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for searing
For the Stack:
- 2 whole-grain burger buns, lightly toasted (with or without sesame)
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 small cucumber, sliced thin
- Red bell pepper slices
- ½ cup alfalfa or broccoli sprouts
- Fresh spinach or arugula leaves
Optional (But Highly Recommended) Sauce:
- 2 tbsp hummus or herbed yogurt spread
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Pinch of salt and za’atar (for boldness)
Method
1. Form the Patties
- Mash chickpeas with a fork or pulse in a food processor. Leave a bit of texture — we’re not making baby food.
- Add grated carrot, oats/breadcrumbs, garlic, spices, salt, and pepper.
- Form into thick patties. If they feel loose, chill for 15 minutes.
2. Sear Like You Mean It
- Heat a pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sear patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp on the outside, but still tender in the middle. No flabby patties allowed.
3. Build the Tower
- Bottom bun → hummus/spread → spinach
- Add the seared veggie patty.
- Layer: cucumber, red pepper, avocado slices, tomato, and a generous tangle of sprouts.
- Crown it with the top bun (press it down with a bit of drama).

Pro Tips
- Toast your bun — floppy bread ruins good burgers.

- Add chili flakes or a splash of sriracha if you want attitude.
