  • Panko breadcrumbs - 100 grams
  • Fresh parsley - 30 grams, chopped
  • Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • BBQ sauce - 4 tablespoons
  • Whole grain burger buns - 2
  • Leafy greens (like lettuce or spinach) - 1 cup
  • Sliced tomatoes - 1 medium

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
  3. Add panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
  4. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer the crispy patties to a baking sheet and brush the top with BBQ sauce.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Toast the whole grain burger buns in the same skillet until lightly browned.
  9. Assemble the sliders by placing a crispy chickpea patty on each bun, topping with leafy greens and sliced tomatoes, and drizzling with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
