I love a good veggie burger. I also love creating recipes and everyone in my family tells me turned out awesome. First time. Nailed it! It think part of the awesome is the BBQ sauce! Ever since I perfected my recipe for Easy Homemade Vegan Barbeque Sauce I just can’t be stopped! Not only did I add it to these fabulous burgers, I added it to Air Fryer BBQ Chickpeas and Air Fryer BBQ Cauliflower, yum!
Tara’s Tips For Perfect Chickpea Veggie Burgers:
- Use rolled oats not steel cut or instant.
- Don’t over pulse the mixture in your food processor. Stop pulsing when everything is mixed.
- If you have time, put the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set prior to shaping into patties.
- Make sure your burgers are done before removing from the oven! Check to make sure they are not mushy inside + leave them in with the oven turned off if they are still wet after the 40 minutes. Mine take 38 minutes.
- Make it a double stack! One bun + 2 patties + loads of toppings
- Topping ideas include extra BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, red onion, ketchup, mustard, or shredded cabbage. Totally awesome topped with Vegan Chipotle Mayo.
- Serve on hamburger buns, in pita bread, in your favorite wrap, on a salad, over a bed of greens or on top of quinoa.
- Leftovers? These store perfectly in the freezer or refrigerator. When you are ready to reheat them, they are awesome browned in a skillet or the microwave works fine too.
- Follow my recipe here for Easy Homemade Vegan Barbeque Sauce or use your favorite store-bought!
