How to Prepare Protein-Packed Curried Chickpea and Kale Veggie Burgers [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the Burgers:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast iron pan (or a regular sauté pan). Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion together to caramelize.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the chickpeas, kale, lemon juice, sunflower seeds, oats, spices, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the caramelized garlic and onions and pulse until the mixture is smooth and comes together enough to mold into a patty.
- Form four patties out of the chickpea mixture. Lightly re-oil your sauté pan and cook the patties over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side or until they brown on the bottom.
To Make the Hummus:
- Roast your garlic. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, curry powder, parsley, and salt. Pulse.
- While processing the chickpeas, pour in the coconut milk and olive oil. Continue to pulse until smooth. For a smoother consistency, add more olive oil.
To Make the Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Peel the sweet potatoes if you prefer skinless fries. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick strips.
- Place the strips in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne until coated.
- Spread seasoned fries in an even layer on the sheet pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes until crisp, tossing occasionally.
