High Protein Vegan Burger
Something many people worry about when transitioning to a more plant based diet is whether they'll be consuming enough protein.
These tasty tofu and chickpea burgers contain 12+ grams of protein per patty as well as plenty of fiber, energizing carbohydrates and immune boosting spices. The burgers have the most incredible texture, are bursting with fresh flavors and go perfectly in a seeded bun with a side of homemade potato wedges.
Ingredients
- 5.3oz tofu
- 1 x 14oz tin chickpeas
- 1.7oz brown rice flour
- ¼ onion
- 1 tbsp flax seed (mixed with 4 tbsp of water)
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 0.3oz fresh coriander
- A pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius
Step 2
Combine the flax seed with the water and leave to thicken up for 5 minutes
Step 3
Drain the tofu and dab any excess water off with some kitchen towel
Step 4
Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add to your Ninja Kitchen food processor along with the tofu, now thickened flax seed mixture and all the other ingredients
Step 5

Step 6
Form the mixture into patties (you should make 4-5) and place on a lined baking tray
Step 7
Place into the oven to cook for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside
Step 8
Serve with a seeded burger bun, tomatoes, lettuce and ketchup!
