These Zesty Chickpea Burgers are a delicious vegetarian (or vegan) alternative to traditional beef burgers.<\/p>\n

\"garbanzo<\/p>\n

If you want to make these vegan instead of vegetarian you need to swap out the egg for something that will hold the other ingredients together. Since we are using chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), I thought aquafaba<\/strong> was the perfect choice.<\/p>\n

What is aquafaba? Bean water. I have no idea who the genius was that discovered this, but that liquid you drain off of the canned garbanzo beans can be used as a substitute for eggs in baking and as a binding agent. For binding you need to whip it a little until frothy first, or so I have read. I did not experiment so maybe you don't actually need this step, but I wasn't chancing it.<\/p>\n
