How to Make Sun-Dried Tomato Chickpea Patties

STEP 1 – Make the Patties

In a food processor, blend all of the ingredients together until smooth. Alternatively, you can simply mash the chickpeas in a bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients to form the patties by hand.

STEP 2 – Cook the Patties

Pan-Fry: Heat a pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat. Use a spoon to scoop out the mixture and use your hand to form a burger patty. Place each patty in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Bake: Use a spoon to scoop out the mixture and use your hand to form a burger patty. Place each patty on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Flip patties over at the 10-minute mark and then bake for another 5 minutes on the other side. 

How to Store Sun-Dried Tomato Chickpea Patties

Fridge: Store leftover chickpea patties in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat either in a fry pan with a little olive oil or reheat in the microwave.

Freezer: Allow patties to cool completely, then store in a Ziploc bag or air-tight freezer-safe container. Place a small piece of parchment paper between each patty so they don’t stick together. When you want to reheat them, you can reheat in the microwave until cooked through or reheat from frozen in a pan until cooked through.

How to Serve Sun-Dried Tomato Chickpea Patties

– Over a bed of arugula or salad mix

– In a burger bun or ciabatta bun

– With a side of homemade (or frozen!) french fries or sweet potatoes

– Topped with Garlic Lemon Yogurt Sauce or simply a dollup of plain yogurt
