Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a bowl, toss the chopped cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Spread it on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
3. Once the cauliflower is roasted, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a mixing bowl and mash it lightly with a fork.
4. Add the parsley, mint, diced tomato, red onion, lemon juice, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chickpea flour to the mashed cauliflower. Mix until well combined.
5. Form the mixture into two burger patties.

7. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a whole wheat bun topped with fresh lettuce. Serve immediately.
