Baked Spicy Chickpea Burgers

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425u00b0 F. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, celery and saute for about 3 minutes. Add parsley, curry powder, salt, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, oregano, basil and saute for 1-2 additional minutes until incorporated then remove the skillet from heat. Puree the chickpeas in a food processor or blender, pulsing until a course puree develops, adding water 1 Tablespoon at a time if needed. In a large mixing bowl combine chickpea puree, vegetable mixture, egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well. Hand form patties and place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden on the outside.
