These burgers are so easy, but so delicious. The base is just chickpeas. No oats, no other grains or fillers — just chickpeas that are smashed, mixed with herbs, a dash of hot sauce, and nutritional yeast then baked until they're crispy on the outside. This easy dinner is ready in just under 30 minutes and calls for no specific herbs, so if you're short on time and your pantry stock is low, all you need are a few cans of chickpeas!
