A wonderful veggie burger made with chickpeas, cauliflower and a cajun spice mix. A great alternative to classic burger that is much more healthier, 100% cruelty-free, simple to make,and packed with flavor and nutrients!

Heat the oven to 205 C (400 F). Cut the cauliflower and toss it with 3 tsp of your favourite cooking oil, a big pinch of sea salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring after 20. You want them nice and crispy and delicious.
Meanwhile, add the chopped onion to a heavy frying pan over medium-low heat, along with 1 1/2 tsp of oil. Sweat until it begins to soften, then add the garlic for a few minutes before removing from the heat. You’ll have plenty of time now to slice up avocado, tomatoes, make the Garlic Sauce, and cajun mix.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, you can begin to make the burgers. In a food processor add the Cajun Spice Mix, Chickpeas, cilantro, and onions and garlic and puree until it’s about halfway smooth but with a few chunky beans remaining. Scrape down the sides if needed then toss in the cauliflower and pulse a little more. You want it fairly uniform in texture with some chunky cauliflower goodness. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and work in the flour. Let it hang out for a few minutes for the flour to absorb the liquid.
Divide into four burgers and fry in a little oil (I used the pan from the onions) on both sides until crispy and brown. Once cooked I like to pop my burgers in a 190 C (375) oven for about 10 minutes.
Serve on toasted buns with garlic sauce if desired, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, avocado, mustard, or whatever your faves are.
