If you are a vegetarian who still craves burgers but also don't like the store-bought patties, this recipe for chickpea burgers is for you. From food blogger Jess of How Sweet It Is, the Cheesy Crunch Crispy Chickpea Burgers are made using beans, making them perfect for vegetarians looking for a source of protein.
Ideal for those who like their burgers thick, the recipe is also very crispy due to a near deep fry technique. Described as "splurgy," the burgers are topped with spicy chipotle ketchup. If you plan on trying these at home, you will need ingredients such as chickpeas or garbanzo beans, onion, garlic, eggs, mustard, basil, oregano, dill, paprika and quinoa. For topping you will need sliced fontina cheese and lettuce, plus canola or grapeseed oil for frying.
