Blueberry Hemp Burgers

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400. Set aside 1 cup of the chickpeas.

2. 2

   Roast the rest of the chickpeas for about 5-8 minutes. This will dry them out a bit and give the burger more of a hearty bite.

3. 3

   Raise the heat to 450.

4. 4

   In a food processor or blender combine the carrots, spinach, chickpeas (both roasted and unroasted), jalapeno, and salt. Blend to a coarse paste.

5. 5

   Stir in the onion, blueberries, and hemp seeds.

6. 6

   Form into patties. The patties I made were 3 1/4 inch in diameter and about 1 inch thick. This yielded 8 patties. I've been able to stretch the recipe to 10 patties by making them a bit thinner....but honestly, the nice thick meaty ones are better.

7. 7

   Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet (I actually like to form the patties directly on the sheet, so I don't have to move them)

8. 8

   Bake for 22 minutes.

9. 9

   Serve with ketchup (optional), love (not optional) and avocados/
