Chick(pea) Burgers
Who needs meat?
Yes, I know… I love a juicy burger as much as the next person- but lets be real people; meat (especially red meat) is just not doing it for mother earth anymore. Often times, I hear individuals asking how they can be more sustainable… and the answer is through your plate.
I promise you won’t miss meat in these veggie packed chickpea burgers! They’re moist, they have tons of flavor, and they’re FILLING. Whip our the grill or your skillet (I’m looking at you city dwellers) and enjoy!
