Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 can chickpeas mashed; 1 can is equivalent to 1 3/4  cups of chickpeas
  • 2 each chia eggs or regular eggs
  • 1/4 cup sprouted oat flour
  • 1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour
  • 1 tsp. curry powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. garam masala
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast optional for flavor and added vitamins
  • 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400º F.
  • Mix all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until it holds together and you can make a wet ball out of it. It is important to smash the chickpeas with a fork because that helps with the consistency and to hold everything together. I just mashed them right into the mix with the tines of a dinner fork. You can try pulsing them in the Cuisinart to  see if that works.
  • Form into patties using your hands. You may need to rinse your hands in between patties as it gets a little messy.
  • Place patties on an oiled baking sheet or oven proof baking dish. Brush the top of the patties with more oil, or use a healthy oil spray.
  • Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, turn the patties over using a firm spatula, and return to the oven for about 15 more minutes. The patties should be lightly browned and firm when they are done.
  • Enjoy on a bun or protein style in a lettuce wrap. I made some tzadziki-style cucumber salad and taro root fries to go along with these burgers. It was delicious! The burger in the photo is topped with fresh baby pea greens as a healthful burger topping.
