Tips for Making Chickpea Veggie Burgers
- If you want to add cheese and are following Weight Watchers, use fat-free for zero points
- Here is my favorite food processor to use!
- Feel free to use other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or pepper
- If you need to make the chickpea veggie burger gluten-free, change the flour and breadcrumbs to gluten-free
- Trying to get these on the grill may be a little difficult because they are softer than meat patties, so if you do use a grill pan
- Wanna freeze chickpea veggie patties? Just separate with parchment paper, or use a food saver.
Making Spinach Chickpea Veggie Burgers in the Air Fryer
- Preheat Airfryer to 350
- Cook chickpea veggie patties for 5 minutes on 350
- Flip, then cook for 3 more minutes
Tips for Making Chickpea Veggie Burgers in the Air Fryer
- Use parchment paper to line air fryer, this makes the burgers mess-free and nonstick. Plus these liners are made specifically for the air fryer so they are slotted and already cut for size!
- Times and temperatures may vary depending on model of the air fryer.
- If you have frozen patties be sure to cook them a little longer.
