This recipe is not only delicious but also gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. Let’s dive into how to make these mouth-watering burgers.
- Make sure to drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to remove any excess liquid.
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the ingredients in a food processor, but if you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher.
- Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before forming the patties. This helps the flavors meld together and makes the mixture easier to handle.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Halfway through baking, flip the burgers to ensure even crisping on both sides.
- Serve with your favorite toppings and sauces, such as tzatziki, tahini, or a simple yogurt sauce, along with fresh veggies in a pita bread or on a salad.
These baked falafel burgers are not only a delectable meatless option but also incredibly versatile.
