Ingredients

For the Burgers:

1 15-ounce can chickpeas
3⁄4 cup frozen corn
1⁄2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1⁄3 cup cornichon pickles
1⁄3 cup gluten-free vegan bread crumbs
1⁄3 cup sunflower seeds
1 clove garlic, minced

Serving Suggestions:

Gluten-free burger buns
Vegan mayo
Red onion slices

Preparation

In a food processor, combine all the ingredients, except the coconut oil, and pulse a few times to mix and break down, leaving a coarse texture.
Shape the mixture into 4 burger patties and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties on both sides until they develop a crust and start to brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Assemble the burgers with gluten-free buns and your favorite accompaniments.
