INGREDIENTS

16 medium patties or 12 large patties

4 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 to 1¼ cups quick oats
½ cup BBQ sauce
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder

2 tbsp soy sauce (optional)

METHOD

Make it

1
Mash the chickpeas, leaving some texture.
2
Stir in all remaining ingredients.
3
Let the mixture rest for 10–15 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.
4
Test the mixture:; Too wet? Add more oats, a couple tablespoons at a time.; Too dry? Add a splash of water or a little more BBQ sauce.
5
Form 16 patties.
6
Pan-fry over medium heat with a little oil for about 4–5 minutes per side, until browned and crisp.

Cooking notes

Cook one small test patty and adjust seasoning before forming the remainder.
