Falafel Burger

You know, falafel has always held a special place in my heart.
I remember the first time I tried it at a little street vendor in Tel Aviv; the flavors were just exploding!
This recipe is my homage to that experience.

Plus, they’re super easy to whip up!

Ingredients & Substitutions
When choosing your chickpeas, I love using organic canned ones for ease, but you can definitely cook them from dried if you want to go that route! Fresh herbs are a must for that vibrant flavor. If you're gluten-free, just swap out the all-purpose flour for chickpea flour instead.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to make a double batch and freeze half for later; they reheat beautifully.
- •If you want a kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I swap out the chickpeas for black beans for a different flavor profile.
- •You can also add grated zucchini or carrots for extra veggies!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them, just make sure to separate them with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the patties and store them in the fridge for a couple of days. Just cook them fresh when you're ready to eat.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, mash the canned chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. You want some texture, so don't overdo it.
- 2
Add the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- 3
Sprinkle the flour over the chickpea mixture and mix until everything is well incorporated. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more flour.
- 4
Form the mixture into patties. I usually get about 4-6 patties, depending on how big I want them.
- 5
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- 6
While the patties are cooking, prepare your burger buns with a spread of vegan mayo and layer on the sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens.
- 7
Once the patties are cooked, place one on each bun and enjoy your delicious Falafel Burger!
