Learn how to make a gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free chickpea burger recipe with nutritious, whole food ingredients with the oven, grill, or air fryer!

Gluten-Free Chickpea Burger Recipe (Vegan Option)

cauliflower florets (350-400 grams)

(13 ounces) chickpeas, drained

olive oil oil

smoked paprika, divided

garlic

fine kosher salt

green onion

pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

torn parsley

cumin

chili powder

black pepper

flaxseed

gluten free all purpose

Gluten free hamburger buns

Optional Toppings – tomato, lettuce, onion, hummus, aioli

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a 9&#215;13 baking pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a small bowl, toss together the cauliflower florets, chickpeas, oil, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, garlic, and pinch of sea salt. 

Spread the cauliflower and chickpeas on the prepared pan. Place in the oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until tender but slightly undercooked. Remove and set aside to cool.

Transfer the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas to a food processor and pulse until combined.

Add the chopped green onion and pumpkin seeds to the food processor. Blend until batter is combined but thick and chunky, scraping the sides as needed. 

Add the remaining ingredients; torn parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Blend until a moldable “burger” batter is formed. (The seeds and herbs will be finely diced at this point, not fully blended.)

Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl. Add the ground flaxseed and gluten free flour and mix with a large spoon. Place the batter in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 

Once the batter is chilled, use ⅓ &#8211; ½ cup batter to shape into patties by hand (3 to 4 inches wide). Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers and bake an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and baked through.

Serve the chickpea burgers on buns with optional toppings. Store burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When reheating, place burgers in the oven at 350 and reheat until heated through.

(See notes for grilling or air frying.)

Cauliflower Patties Recipe

cauliflower

(15 oz) can chickpeas ((rinsed and drained))

tbsp parsley (finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

coconut oil (for frying)

chickpea flour ((see notes))

tbsp ground flax seeds

onion powder

tsp cumin (ground)

salt and pepper (to taste)

Cook the cauliflower florets in salted water until tender (about 10-15 minutes), then discard the water.

Meanwhile, combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, and set aside.

Pulse all the wet ingredients (except the oil) in a food processor until combined (don&#39;t over-process, though. There should still be texture, not a paste).

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and combine with your hands.

Form 8-10 patties and fry them with a little oil in a large skillet on both sides (about 5 minutes each) until golden brown.

Serve with vegan sour cream, tzatziki, Ranch dressing, or tahini dressing,

This was awesome, Very versatile recipe to let you use up what is in your fridge.cupboard.  I used butter beans and frozen cauliflower, garlic powder and plain flour and dried basil. Point is you can easily swap things around and keep the same qualities.
I tried cooking some in the airfryer and rest in the saucepan. The saucepan was better as you need the oil for the moisture, flavour and light golden crust.

love this recipe,  made this for the first time and thought I would have to add more flour,  since I over blended,  however since the flax meal I used as a binder, made the over blending nonexistent and my mistake disappeared!! 😀

I've made this twice now, doubled recipe, and replaced chickpea flour with ground oats. So versatile, we've seasoned it as burgers and as falafels. Thank you for this fun, healthy idea for cauliflower!

Hi silly question but I want to make and freeze these. Do I freeze before or after cooking ?
Love your recipes and I have a half cauliflower to use up after making your pasta bake recipe ????
