So our fathers are special and we all want to make this Father’s Day very special and memorable for the entire family and obviously any event without yummilicious food is incomplete.

My Dad and my Husband basically the two men in my family are super fond of burgers and their idea is to dip the burger into the garlic flavored fries instead of any ketchup…. Hahahhaha…. Trust me it’s not an imagination they actually shower their burgers with garlic fries.

I know this sounds delicious and mouthwatering but I have to keep a check on their healthy eating as well irrespective of the occasion.

So I came up with the idea Chickpeas Zucchini Burger with a balance of protein and green vegetable and their love for grilling. Also, I won’t worry about the nutrition part even if they drown their burgers into their favorite garlic fries. HAHAHAHA!!!

Ingredients for Chickpeas Zucchini Burger

Chickpeas
Zucchini
Carrots
Jalapeno
Chickpea flour
Sriracha sauce
Cumin powder
Garlic
Salt

How to make Chickpeas Zucchini Burger

Steps for hot make this recipe

  • Firstly,I combined mashed chickpeas for protein and healthy carb.
  • Secondly, I added grated zucchini since its summer and they are the best summer green veggie,
  • Next, I added some grated carrots since they add color and flavor and enhances vitamins in the burger
  • Thereafter, I spiced it with fresh jalapeno peppers.
  • Now, I used chickpea flour for binding and seasoned it with salt, sriracha sauce and cumin powder and flavored with dried garlic.
  • Lastly, folded them into patty shape between my plams and cooked them.

I suddenly felt a gush of burger craving. Am I dreaming?  Huh! I guess I need to make some burgers pre- Father’s Day!  🙂

For me, this burger is going to be in a lettuce wrap form along with some side salad but its super delicious with burger buns. Just add lettuce, tomatoes, and onions between the burger buns along with the Chickpeas Zucchini Burger Patties and spread some dressing on the inside of the buns like my earlier tofu sriracha dressing post.  MMMM!

I got to go now and make a burger for myself right away.

Expert tips:

  • Make sure to measure zucchini after grating and squeezing it out.
  • As the patty cools down they firm up so don;t worry if they sift immediately out of the grill/oven.

I’m seriously drooling!!! 🙂

FAQs

  • These burger are best when served immediately. However, they can be refrigerated in a air tight container for about a week.
  • These can be made in indoor grill/nonstick skillet/frying pan/outdoor grill. I have explained in details in the recipe card below under notes section.

Author: Gunjan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups garbanzo beans/chickpeas (boiled,drained and mashed)
  • 2 cups zucchini (grated and squeezed)
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 whole jalapeno pepper (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup chickpea flour
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix very well with your hands.
  • Divide the mix into 8 equal portions.
  • Heat your grill or nonstick pan and grease it with cooking spray.
  • Now take 1 portion of the mix between palms and form a ball gently. Then carefully press in the middle of the ball between palms to form cutlet/patty shape.
  • Now put the patty directly on the grill or nonstick pan and let it cook for few minutes until one side turns brown then flip the patty to the other side and cook again until brown.
  • Repeat the same process for all the patties.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite burger buns along with sliced tomatoes, lettuce and cheese and some Caesar salad on the side or as lettuce wraps with some ketchup on the side.

Notes

  • Measure zucchini after grating and squeezing. Make sure to remove seeds if any and squeeze as much as possible.
  • I used indoor electric grill for these patties that had the top cover grill as well so I didn’t have to flip. If you are using nonstick pan for making these patties flip it gently with the help of two flat spatulas or else the patties may break since they will be soft at this time. The patties will stiffen as they cool down.
  • If using oven to bake these patties preheat the oven at 400 degree Fahrenheit and these patties in lined cookie sheet and bake for at least 30 minutes or until the patties are brown.
  • If using outdoor grill for BBQ then add some bread crumbs/vegan panko to the burger mix to make a dry consistency for your convenience of grilling.
  • The patties can be refrigerated in an air tight container for a week.

    If you don’t have chickpea flour, what can you use instead?

      Chickpea flour is the main ingredient of these pancakes or else it would taste differently just like any other pancakes. I hope this helps.

    Just wanted to tell you how much we love this recipe. I found it earlier this summer and I make it at least twice a month. My roommate is vegan although my husband and I are not and this is a great meal for when we are all eating together. Crowd pleaser for Vegans and non vegans!

    These were great! I made them the day before and cooked them on the stove top quickly tonight. I made up a yogurt-dill sauce and had them without bread. Teen, husband and I loved them! I did sub almond flour for the chickpea flour and they did struggle to stay together, but we didn’t care. Thank you!

      Hi Kay,
      You can substitute chickpea flour with bread crumbs. It wont be gluten free in that case if you are okay with it. Plain or Italian style bread crumbs can be used in this recipe. Hope this helps. Enjoy this recipe. 🙂

    Wondering about the measurement for the chickpeas. Are the 2 cups the pre-boiling volume or post volume? Thanks!

      Hi Amanda,
      Thank you for showing interest in my blog and this recipe. You need to measure the chickpeas after boiling and draining whether you use fresh chickpeas or canned. Then pulse them in your food processor to mash. Mash them roughly so that chickpeas are not very smooth or watery. Hope this helps.
