Spicy Chickpea Burgers With Slaw

Published August 15, 2011 Last updated on May 26th, 2017

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love a good beef or turkey burger, but occasionally I like to change things up and make a super healthy veggie burger.  These are super simple to make, and even my husband likes them. That being said, I still don’t think he will give up real burgers any time soon, nor will I!  I always have a can of chickpeas hanging out in my pantry, so it’s a great go-to recipe.

This is  a fairly spicy burger, so feel free to decrease the amount of chipotle peppers to suit your own taste.  The sweetness of the honey mustard really helps to balance out  the heat from the chipotle peppers. I served these with some Alexia brand spicy sweet potato fries.  We had these for dinner one night, and the leftovers for lunch the next day. I took this photo the day after I made them, and we had eaten the last of the fries the night before. Sad, I know.

*I do realize that this isn’t exactly the most glamorous looking burger, but I mean come on, it’s a veggie burger. Plus, my food photography skills are still a work in progress, and I was super hungry when I took the picture. Anyway, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.*
