Instructions
-
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, grated carrot, garlic, and spices.
-
Pulse the mixture a few times until combined into a rough paste. Add the egg and breadcrumbs, and pulse a few more times until the mixture is evenly mixed.
-
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and chill for at least an hour or up to 24 hours. Chilling helps the mixture hold together a little better when forming the patties and when grilling.
-
Divide the burger mixture into six even patties, and transfer to a plate or sheet pan to make it easy to carry to the grill.
-
Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a food processor with the blade attachment. Process until the sauce is smooth, has a uniform color, and even consistency.
-
Taste the sauce and season to your liking with salt and pepper.
-
Make sure your burger buns, lettuce, sliced onion, and cheese are all prepped and arranged near the grill.
-
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to direct medium-high heat. Prep all other burger ingredients.
-
When you’re ready to cook burgers, lightly oil the grill grates or a grill pan with canola oil. Grill burgers for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until a crust forms on the outside.
-
Serve the burgers immediately with fresh lettuce, red onion, and slathered with the Green Goddess sauce.
