Sprouted Chickpea Falafel Burgers

• 3 onions, diced
• 4-5 garlic cloves, chopped finely
• 3 cups of sprouted chickpeas
• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds + 4 tablespoons of water (egg replacement)
• 1 cup of grated courgette
• A handful of sage, rosemary & thyme
• 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
• Black pepper to season

1. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix your chia seeds & water. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, blend up the chickpeas into a course mixture.
3. In a pan, fry the onions with the rosemary/sage/thyme. Once the onions are golden, add the garlic and fry for 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
4. In a large bowl, combine the ground chickpeas, the fried onion mix and the rest of the ingredients (chia seed mixture, grated courgette, paprika, salt & pepper).
5. If you have time, you can put your mixture in the fridge until you need it. This will make the burgers easier to shape but is not necessary if you can't wait!
6. Grease a large baking tray (or use baking paper) and shape the mixture into burgers on the tray. Cook in the oven on gas mark 6 for 20-30 minutes. The falafel will be ready when they begin to turn golden and are slightly crispy. (See the final photo!).
7. Serve with tahini, hummus, salad, in wraps or however you desire. Enjoy!
