Tired of the same old boring frozen veggie burgers? Give this Falafel Burger With Avocado Tahini Cream a try! Easy to prepare and loaded with spices... and flavor!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the burger:
  • 1 15oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, cilantro or a combination of both
  • 3 tbsp Vegan Mayo or Extra virgin Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp cornmeal
  • 1 heaping tsp cumin
  • 1 heaping tsp turmeric
  • 1 heaping tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 heaping tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper (or to taste, optional)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • For the avocado tahini cream:
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice or lemon juice ( add o more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles, etc

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. To prepare the veggie burger, combine all the ingredients, except for the olive oil, in the food processor. Pulse 10 to 15 times, until the chickpeas are mashes and the ingredients are well combined
  3. Working with 1/4 cup mixture at a time, form 4 patties. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil on the parchment paper and arrange the burger on the baking sheet. Brush the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil on the burgers and bake for 30 minutes.
  4. While the burgers cook, prepare the avocado tahini cream. Mash the avocado well in a bowl. Using a whisk, incorporate the tahini, lime juice and salt. Continue whisking until creamy. Refrigerate until ready to use
  5. Once the burgers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool before removing them from the baking sheet (they are delicate, so do it gently!). Serve them with the avocado tahini cream, with or without a bun, and your favorite fixings. 
  6. Let them cool slightly before removing them from the baking sheet
