In a food processor, blend the chickpeas until they form a coarse mixture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the processed chickpeas with onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs to the mixture, and stir until everything is well combined.
Form the mixture into patties about the size of a typical burger.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the patties on each side until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Serve the patties warm, either on a bun with your favorite toppings or as a steak with salad.
For added flavor, try adding a teaspoon of curry powder or chili flakes to the mixture.
If the mixture is too wet to form patties, add more breadcrumbs until desired firmness is achieved.
These patties can also be grilled or baked for a healthier option.
Can I make these chickpea burgers vegan?
Yes, you can use an egg replacer or flaxseed meal mixed with water instead of the egg.
