Zucchini Spinach Chickpea Burgers
Hello my beauties!
Well, with these 'quite' times, and having more time on my hands, I have suddenly felt SO much inspiration to cook NEW recipes, so get excited guys because you’ll be getting a heap more delicious recipes coming to you via my blog and Instagram!
I am totally loving this burger recipe right now. It is really filling, full of flavour, and so easy to make. The addition of the chickpeas gives it a big plant protein hit.
I am really loving ‘meal prepping’ but not in a gym-meals kind of way. More so I am just loving making up big delicious and healthy salads or soups like this burgers and storing it in the fridge for a couple of lunches/dinners throughout the week. This zucchini, spinach, chickpea burger is absolutely delicious and keeps really well for 2-3 days! I think its also really great to have these kinds of meals prepped in case you get hungry and feel like a snack - reach for a small serving of this this instead and you’ll feel SO much more satisfied.
Recipe
+/- 10 burgers
V, GF, DF
Ingredients
- 2 gloves of garlic
- 1 zucchini
- 2 hands of spinach
- 1 cup of buckweat flour (or all purpose flour works fine as well if you don’t mind gluten)
- 1/2 cup of almond flour, and more for finishing off the burgers
- 1/2 cup of mixed fresh herbs, I used parsley and basil
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp himalaya salt
- 2 tsp cracked pepper
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp tumeric *optional
- coconut oil
Instructions
- Take the zucchini and grate it into pieces, then take it into a kitchen towel and press out any access water.
- Add to a blender, in my case hand blender, the chickpeas, grated zucchini and spinach. Blend until combined but not smooth.
- Then add the garlic, buckweat flour, almond flour, fresh herbs, nutritional yeast and spices into the blender.
- Blend again until combined but not smooth, you want there to speckles of the greens.
- On a plate, put on a good layer of almond flour.
- Take the bather (this is supposed to be sticky) out of your blender, form it in burger shape, and roll it into the almond flour.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil and the burgers.
- Fry for around 5 minutes each side, until golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the heat and serve the burgers just how it is, or on a burger bun with greens and sauce right away!
I hope you enjoy this recipe! We sure loved devouring it for dinner… AND leftovers the next day!
