Day 257.

Zucchini burgers are awesome! I love making burgers with different ingredients and this one has absolutely no “burger” type meat in it. It’s an old recipe that originally used zucchini and tuna to form a burger patty. I swapped in chickpeas for the tuna and decided to add marinara sauce to the toppings to kick up the flavor.

Zucchini Burgers

Adapted from Zucchini Burgers.

Ingredients

2 cups chickpeas, cooked

1 medium zucchini, shredded

1 1/2 cups whole wheat bread cubes

1/2 cup corn, grilled (optional)

1/4 cup onion, chopped

1 egg

2 teaspoons minced onion

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon House seasoning (or salt and pepper)

Flour for dusting.

Cheese and marinara sauce, if desired

Method

Send chickpeas and zucchini through a shredder or food processor. Mix with bread cubes, corn, egg, onion, lemon juice, and House seasoning. Form into patties.

Turn patties onto a floured plate, dusting all sides. Grill in a bit of olive oil, about 3 minutes per side. Serve topped with cheese and marinara sauce, if desired.

The Results

Wow. These are fantastic. What a simple, refreshing burger. And the marinara sauce really brings it all together. I absolutely love the crispiness and flavor of this patty and I’ll have to experiment with eggplant in the future. It reminds me a lot of eggplant parmesan, except crispy through the entire patty instead of just on the outside. Yum.
