How to Prepare Cilantro Chickpea Veggie Burgers [Vegan]

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or non-stick baking paper. Set aside.
Prepare your flax egg by whisking 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chickpeas, cilantro, lemon zest and juice, garlic, and spices. Process until almost paste-like, but with a little texture.
Pour the chickpea mixture into a large bowl and add in the flax egg, oat flour, red onion, and sunflower seeds and stir until well combined.
Divide the batter into 4-6 sections, depending on your preference, and use your hands to form the sections of dough into patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Place the patties on your prepared baking tray and bake them in the oven for about 30 minutes, flipping half way through, or until the patties reach your desired dryness. Bake the patties longer for dryer, firmer patties or take them out sooner for softer, doughier patties.
Serve on buns or a bed of lettuce with the toppings of your choice.
