Instructions

Falafel Smash Burger

Full Time: 35 minutes

1

Drain the chickpeas. Roughly chop the onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, and spinach.

2

Add the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, and spinach to a food processor. Pulse until finely minced but not smooth.

3

Add cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, flour, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pulse again until well combined and the mixture holds together. Tip: If the mix feels too soft, add a bit more flour.

4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal balls. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the falafel balls, cover with baking paper, and smash flat using a burger press, spatula, or the bottom of a pan. Season with salt. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.

5

Toast the bakerly Sriracha Brioche Burger Buns in the pan until golden. Spread garlic yogurt on the base bun. Add one falafel patty, a spoonful of yogurt, and a few pickles. Stack the second patty on top, add more yogurt, and drizzle with chili sauce.

6

Top with the other half of the bun, serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, plant-powered Falafel Smash Burger!
