    INGREDIENTS:
    1 head of cauliflower cut into florets – about 2 cups
    1 tablespoon of olive oil
    2 tablespoons garlic powder
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    Salt and pepper
    15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    1/2 cup cooked quinoa
    3/4 cup breadcrumbs
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
    2 tablespoons minced parsley
    2-3 tablespoons olive oil

     

    Just because we don’t eat meat during the nine days doesn’t
    mean you can’t enjoy a burger. Try these delicious cauliflower
    chickpea burgers as a great vegetable option.

    DIRECTIONS:                                                                                                                                  Roast the Cauliflower:

    1) Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees

    2)Place the cauliflower into a mixing bowl, drizzle it with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder and salt and pepper and toss.

    3) Place the cauliflower onto a sprayed baking sheet and roast it in the oven for 20 minutes.

    4) Remove and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.

    Make the burger mixture:

    1) Add the roasted cauliflower to a food processor and pulse a few times to break it down.

    2) Add the chickpeas, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup quinoa, 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup parmesan, 1 remaining tablespoon of chili powder, 1 remaining tablespoon of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper to the food
    processor with the cauliflower and pulse until it forms a semi stiff batter. Add more olive oil if needed to get it all incorporated. You can also add more breadcrumbs if the mixture appears to be too wet.

    3) Form the batter into 6 round patties, using wet hands and place them onto a plate or small baking sheet and put them into the freezer for 15-20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.

    Cook the burgers:

    1) Remove the burgers from the freezer and heat up a cast iron pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil to medium high heat on the stovetop.

    2) Add the burgers 4 at a time and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Once you see the bottom starting to get crispy then you know they are ready to flip.

    3) Serve the burgers on toasted burger buns with some pesto, chipotle mayo (mayo mixed in with adobo sauce), mayo mixed with dried basil or just some fresh
    arugula and tomatoes drizzled with lemon. They are so good!
