Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 100 grams, canned and drained
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon

• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed beetroot, drained chickpeas, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a uniform mixture forms.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the beetroot patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly in a separate pan or oven if desired.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a beetroot patty, a slice of tomato, and avocado. Drizzle tahini on top if using, and close with the top half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite condiments or sides.
