This dairy-free Greek-inspired dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, delivering a burst of Mediterranean flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 200 grams, grated
• Chickpea flour - 50 grams
• Feta cheese (dairy-free) - 50 grams, crumbled
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Lettuce leaves - 2

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
2. After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini in a clean towel to remove as much water as possible.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chickpea flour, crumbled dairy-free feta, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Form the mixture into 2 burger patties.
5. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the whole grain burger buns lightly.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a zucchini feta patty, sliced tomato, red onion, and cucumber. Top with the other half of the bun.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Zucchini Feta Burgers!
