Chickpea Quinoa Burgers
From the author, Lauren Bossi: If you’re looking for a delicious dinner in less than 20 minutes, look no further than these Chickpea Quinoa Burgers.
These veggie burgers are so easy and so. darn. tasty! This week, I accidentally made about 6 cups of quinoa so it's been all about trying to incorporate it into any recipe I can. Therefore, I made a bunch of these babies as a part of my meal prep for the week. I use them in my sandwiches, broken up on top of a salad, or even just on their own with some tahini dipping sauce.
This recipe provides an easy base that allows you to mess around with the spices any way you please. Hope you enjoy it!

You don’t want it to be too wet. If it is too wet and you are unable to easily form patties, add a little bit of flour until you are happy with your mixture. Using a ¼ cup scoop, add your mixture and form your burger patties
- Form into 6-8 burgers.
- In a skillet heated over medium heat, add a drop of cooking oil/spray and cook burgers until each side is golden brown. It should be around 3 minutes per side,
