Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Chop the cauliflower into small florets and place them in a mixing bowl.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the cauliflower and add garlic powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.
4. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.
5. Once roasted, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Add chickpea flour, water, feta cheese, and parsley, then pulse until combined but still slightly chunky.
6. Form the mixture into two patties.
7. In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
8. Toast the burger buns in the same skillet until lightly browned.
