Spicy Chickpea Veggie Burgers With Jalapeño And Zucchini — topped with a tasty honey-lime slaw and fiery Sriracha mayo. These are my tastiest veggie burgers yet! These burgers are 100{e60ce88da641899e69f391bf16a42888542d229f3489f13ac1244d498781d7ad} vegetarian with an easy peasy vegan swap and gluten-free to boot. They’re also dairy-free, though I’ll totally look the other way if you melt a slice of Pepper Jack on top of your burger!
Ingredients
FOR THE BURGERS:
- 1.5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
- 15 oz canned chickpeas drained + rinsed
- 1/3 cup finely diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1-2 TBSP green onion (white + green portions)
- 1/2 TBSP avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 4 onion roll buns see post for GF swaps
- leafy green lettuce of choice for topping
FOR THE SLAW:
- 1 heaping cup cabbage finely chopped/shredded
- 1/2 a fresh jalapeño sliced thin (optional)
- 1/2 TBSP honey
- 1/2 TBSP avocado oil
- juice of 1 lime or to taste
- a pinch of salt
- fresh cilantro optional + to taste
FOR THE SRIRACHA AIOLI:
- 1/3 cup quality mayo
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1-2 TBSP Sriracha or to taste
- 1/8-1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
-
Combine ingredients for the aioli and whisk. Set aside.
-
For the slaw, combine all ingredients and adjust to taste. Set aside.
-
Combine oats and chickpeas in food processor and pulse a few times to roughly chop the chickpeas and oats. Mixture should look chopped but not be paste-like or wet/mushy.
-
Set aside and grab those veggies!
-
Remove the stem from the jalapeño. For spicier burgers, leave the veins and seeds intact. For less spicy burgers remove half or all of the veins/seeds. I left half intact and removed the rest for burgers with a spicy kick and lots of flavor!
-
If you haven’t already, grate the zucchini using the coarse side of a box grater and wrap in a paper towel. Squeeze out excess moisture and set aside.
-
Sauté bell pepper, jalapeño, zucchini and green onion in avocado oil until peppers are tender.
-
Season with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt.
-
Add the freshly sauteed veggies to your bean mixture, then add your egg.
-
Stir to fully incorporate and roll mixture into four balls.
