    Step aside burgers, there's a new patty in town! These Vegan Chickpea Patties are a nutritional powerhouse that's loaded with hearty flavors. Perfect for a barbecue or just a simple vegan friendly weeknight meal. 

    chickpea patties

    Chickpeas are one of my all time favorite plant based ingredients. They're nutritional powerhouses, filled with protein and fiber. They're hearty, delicious, and pairing them with an array of seasonings can transform these simple legumes into something exotically delicious. I'm guilty of tossing them into all kinds of recipes from heavy winter stews to light chickpea salads.

    These chickpea patties marry convenience with fantastic taste. They're quick to make in just a half hour, which means they're easy enough for a weeknight dinner. But they're also perfect for grilling at those fall tailgate parties and summer cookouts.

    Besides serving them as veggie burgers, you can use these patties as an addition to fresh salads or as companions to your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!

    These vegan chickpea patties are: 

    • Perfect for grilling! 
    • A simple 100% vegan meal idea.
    • Totally delicious.

    Helpful Tips

    Chill the patties

    Don't skip on chilling the patties before cooking - you can even chill them for a bit longer than noted. A well-chilled patty holds its shape much better while cooking.

    Bake the chickpea patties

    You don't have to stick to pan-frying your patties — baking in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes also works just fine. Just remember to flip them halfway through.

    Grill the chickpea patties

    Cook the chickpea patties on the grill over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side.

    Frying oil

    I fried my patties in a bit of olive oil, because it's most convenient for me. But coconut oil or canola oil are also good alternatives. 

    Make ahead

    You can make this chickpea patties in advance if you wish. Just prepare the patties and then store them in the fridge, in a covered container. They will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge, before being cooked.

    Storing Leftovers 

    You can save leftover chickpea patties in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in a hot pan or in the oven to get a crispy finish.

    Variations

    Mediterranean Chickpea Patties

    First up, if you have a thing for Mediterranean foods, add in some cumin, coriander, and lemon zest. 

    Asian Chickpea Patties

     For an Asian twist, toss in some sesame seeds, a little soy sauce, and a hint of ginger.

    Add Spice! 

    Mix in some chili flakes or use spicy smoked paprika instead of the regular one to give your patties a kick of heat. 

    Italian Chickpea Patties

    If you fancy an Italian touch, a bit of dried basil and oregano, or even a few minced sun-dried tomatoes, will give your patties a rich, savory flavor.

    Make it gluten-free

     Replace the panko with gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
