Equipment

food processor
quarter sized baking sheet
parchment paper

Ingredients

2 can chickpeas, canned
1 cup tomato sauce store-bought or homemade
½ cup breadcrumbs or panko or oat flour
⅔ cup parmesan cheese or 3 tablespoon nutritional yeast and more breadcrumbs
¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
⅔ cup onion, diced very small or chopped green onion
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoon basil
¼ teaspoon black pepper
pinch salt

Instructions

Prep

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Layer a baking sheet with parchment. Lightly oil the parchment paper to keep the burgers from sticking.

Make the Meatballs

Rinse the chickpeas (I used canned), and put them in a food processor.
Add the tomato sauce, breadcrumbs, cheese and spices into the food processor as well, and process for 1 minute or until all chickpeas are broken down.
2 can chickpeas, canned, 1 cup tomato sauce, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ⅔ cup parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoon oregano, 2 tablespoon basil, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, pinch salt
Add in the rest of the ingredients and process again, about 15 seconds. You want the mixture to retain some texture.
¼ cup fresh parsley, ⅔ cup onion, diced very small
Use clean hands to form 3-inch burgers and line them on the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with olive oil.
Bake the burgers uncovered for 10 minutes on each side.
Serve on a bun with all the trappings of a traditional hamburger.

Notes

*Be sure it is a quality tomato sauce

Without a food processor. You can also put all ingredients in a bowl and use your hands or potato masher or a fork to knead the mixture that way.

Use nutritional yeast if you can't find dairy free parmesan cheese. Or use regular parmesan cheese if you don't need to keep the burgers to be dairy free and vegan.
