Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
-
Add the chopped jalapeno, red onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Stir in the bread crumbs to help bind the mixture together. If the mixture feels too wet, add more bread crumbs; if it's too dry, you can add a splash of water.
-
Divide the mixture into equal portions and form into burger patties. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush each patty with a little olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
-
Bake the burgers for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Serve the Spicy Chickpea Jalapeno Burgers on your favorite burger buns with all the fixings you love – lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a spicy vegan mayo. Enjoy!
